The highly-anticipated Taylor Swift and the Dixie Chicks’ collaboration has finally dropped! “Soon You’ll Get Better” is downright heart-wrenching and documents Taylor’s mother Andrea’s ongoing cancer battle. Listen to the very personal lyrics below!
Swift’s seventh album, Lover, is out now and features 18 tracks. Both of Taylor’s parents have battled cancer and her mom is currently fighting the devastating disease for a second time.
“Soon You’ll Get Better”
The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair
In doctor’s office lighting, I didn’t tell you I was scared
That was the first time we were there
Holy orange bottles, each night I pray to you
Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too
And I say to you
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
You’ll get better soon
‘Cause you have to
I know delusion when I see it in the mirror
You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal
I just pretend it isn’t real
I’ll paint the kitchen neon, I’ll brighten up the sky
I know I’ll never get it, there’s not a day that I won’t try
And I say to you
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
You’ll get better soon
‘Cause you have to
And I hate to make this all about me
But who am I supposed to talk to?
What am I supposed to do
If there’s no you?
This won’t go back to normal, if it ever was
And I keep saying it because
‘Cause I have to
Ooh-ah
You’ll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh
You’ll get better soon
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
You’ll get better soon
‘Cause you have to
