Better Now

Blanks

You probably think that you are better now, better now

You only say that '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 everythin', whoa

I did not believe that it would end, no

Everything came second to the Benzo

You're not even speakin' to my friends, no

You knew all my uncles and my aunts though

Twenty 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

And 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 can't get this shit outta my head

You probably think that you are better now, better now

You only say that '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 everythin', whoa

Better now, better now, yeah

I'm b-b-b-b-better now, better now, yeah

I'm b-b-b-b-better now, better now, yeah

I'm b-b-b-b-better now, better now

Ooh, yeah

Better now, better now, yeah

I'm b-b-b-b-better now, better now, yeah

I'm b-b-b-b-better now, better now, yeah

I'm b-b-b-b-better now, better now

Ooh, yeah
