Better Now Lyrics

[Chorus: Conor]
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 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 whoa)

[Verse 1: Conor]
I did not believe that it would end, no
Everything came second to the Benzo
You're not even speaking to my friends, no
You knew all my uncles and my aunts though
Twenty candles, blow 'em out and open your eyes
We were looking 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 shit outta my head

[Chorus: Conor]
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 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 whoa)
[Verse 2: Anth:]
Whoa
Should’ve known
Why does something good never last long?
Why does something right always go wrong?
I said I’m sorry but I waited too long
Wonder if you’ve found some company
Or if you’re alone, the same as me
Never knew how special we would be
'Til the future changed to memories
So who you gon' call when you get too drunk?
All the times that I picked you up
Held back your hair when you’ve had too much
I’d do it all again just to bring back us
But I can’t fix us
'Cause you’ve had enough
And it hurts so much

[Chorus: Conor]
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 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 wow)
Oh, let me apologize
I'll make up, make up, make up, make up for all those times
'Cause your love, I don't wanna lose
I'm beggin', beggin', begginn', beggin', I'm begging you

Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

After Jack had kicked Conor out of his apartment (which he eventually found out was due to his constant waking up screaming “I SWEAR MY 2ND ALBUM IS ALMOST DONE”), Conor flew to Miami to find refuge. Conor would sit on Instagram and watch the buttercreams enjoy the World Cup without him in dismay…
“Whats wrong C-bear?” asked Anth, as he walked in clutching his 1 million subscriber plaque that he ordered way too early.
“I told you not to call me that unless I’m in the outfit..” replied Conor, he continued:
“..and I don’t know man, it just feels like ever since I left London.. all my friends back home.. they just seem.. Better Now..”
They both slowly turned and looked each other as if they had a genius idea..

Conor had pee’d himself.
This video was Anth’s idea.
