Name: It's Only Going To Get Worse
Duration: P00H03M54S
Description: This song was about a co-worker who, while on one of my numerous breaks from a long-time girlfriend, I ensnared in a doomed affair. I was using her as an excuse not to go back to my ex. The song makes no mention of the fact I was in love (unrequited) with an entirely different woman in Halifax at the time. Or the old flame who'd just moved back to town.

about

This song was about a co-worker who, while on one of my numerous breaks from a long-time girlfriend, I ensnared in a doomed affair. I was using her as an excuse not to go back to my ex. The song makes no mention of the fact I was in love (unrequited) with an entirely different woman in Halifax at the time. Or the old flame who'd just moved back to town.

lyrics

You're right to think I'm pretty queer
I got drunk and then I got weird
Pushed you away, tugged on your sleeve
Begged you to stay and then told you to leave

And it's only going to get worse
I will be your curse
It's only going to get worse
These things don't move in reverse

You're right to think I'm turning sour
I'm more of a tart with every hour
The fruit you picked is ripe no more
A bite reveals a rotten core

And it's only going to get worse
I will be your curse
It's only going to get worse
These things don't move in reverse

I don't care if you run away
Over land or sea
As long as you run away
From me

You're right to think that I'm a cad
I once was tender but I've gone bad
Too long alone with my bitter thoughts
Some hearts heal but mine, it rots

And it's only going to get worse
I will be your curse
It's only going to get worse
These things don't move in reverse
