Better Now

Post Malone

You prolly 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 everything

You know I say that I am better now, better now

I only say that ’cause you’re not around, not around

You know I never meant to let you down, let you down

Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything

Oh-oh

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

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 outta my head

...

I’ve seen you with the 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

Another foreign or a bigger chain

Because no matter how my life has changed

I keep on looking back on better days

...

I promise

I swear to you, I’ll be okay

You’re only the love of my life

You prolly 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 everything

...

Background

This is a song by American rapper Post Malone from his second studio album, “Beerbongs & Bentleys” (2018). It speaks about the post-breakup situation of a couple. It seems as if both parties are regretting the breakup and trying to convince themselves that they are better off without the other.
