BETTER NOW Songtext
von Smith & Myers

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say it ′cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say it ′cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
Ooh-oh-oh

I did not believe that it would end, no
Everything came second to the Benzos
You're not even speakin′ to my friends, no
You knew all my uncles and my aunts though

20 candles, blow ′em out and open your eyes
We were lookin' forward to the rest of our lives
Used to keep my picture posted by your bedside
Now it′s in your dresser with the socks you don't like


And I′m rollin', rollin′, rollin', rollin'
With my brothers like it′s Jonas, Jonas
Drinkin′ Henny and I'm tryna forget
But I just can′t get you outta my head

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say it 'cause I′m not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say it 'cause I′m not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
Ooh-oh-oh

I've seen with your other dude
He seemed like he was pretty cool
I was so broken over you
Life, it goes on, what can you do?

I just wonder what it's gonna take (what it′s gon′ take)
Another foreign or a bigger chain (bigger chain)
But no matter how my life has changed (no matter how my life has changed)
I keep on looking back on better days


You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say it 'cause I′m not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say it 'cause I′m not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
Ooh-oh-oh

I promise, I swear to you, I'll be okay
You′re only the love of my life (the love of my life)

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say it 'cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say ′cause I′m not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
Ooh-oh-oh
