The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Gotta get bad before it gets good,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

I want good now,

But it's gotta get bad before it gets good,

That's what you say,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

You say stick with me,

You know that you should,

'Cause its gotta get bad before it gets good,

You say you trust me,

But just me,

Put your fait in me,

Then wait patiently,

Keep on telling me lies,

I'll believe you, believe you,

Keep on telling me lies,

Like I need you, I need you,

You say it's hard now,

But good things come from this,

So I'll keep on living on your promises,

Gotta get bad before it gets good,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

I want good now,

But it's gotta get bad before it gets good,

That's what you say,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

You say stick with me,

You know that you should,

'Cause its gotta get bad before it gets good,

What you used to say,

You used to do,

If you told me something,

I'd know it was true,

See, there was a time,

I could believe you, believe you,

But this time,

I could see through, could see through,

I used to trust,

Before I knew,

There was a difference,

Between what you say and what you do,

Gotta get bad before it gets good,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

I want good now,

But it's gotta get bad before it gets good,

That's what you say,

Its gotta get bad before it gets good,

You say stick with me,

You know that you should,

'Cause its gotta get bad before it gets good,

You tell me lies,

But you do it with style,

Saying 'it'll come good,

In a little while,

You keep on spining your words,

(Can't make out this line),

Then you break your promises,

With a film star smile,

You say (x5),

But What do you do?

What do you do?

You say (x5),

But What do you do?

What do you do?

Don't care what you say,

Just show me what you do,

Show me what you do.
