Better By Now Lyrics by Josh Tobias

2023

[Verse 1]
Oh I still don’t let my close ones close to me
And my hand still shakes when it pours itself a drink
I still let these ghosts get the best and the most of me
And the best I can do still ain’t good enough for me
[Chorus]
So wake me up
Sit me down
Give me a reason not to burn this town
Cuz them voices in the dark been getting loud
Give me shelter
From the rain
Tell me I’m worth more than my pain
Thought I’d be somebody new this time around
Or at lеast be better by now
Bеtter by now
Better by now
[Verse 2]
I still draw my blood when I don’t find the words to speak
I still ask for grace from a god I don’t believe
I still hold my tongue even though it’s killing me
I still tell myself it’s supposed it’s the way it’s supposed to be
[Chorus]
So wake me up
Sit me down
Give me a reason not to burn this town
Cuz them voices in the dark been getting loud
Give me shelter
From the rain
Tell me I’m worth more than my pain
Thought I’d be somebody new this time around
Or at least be better by now
Better by now
Better by now
[Verse 3]
And these voices
And these choices
They both weigh me
Weigh me
Weigh me down
[Chorus]
So wake me up
Sit me down
Give me a reason not to burn this town
Cuz them voices in the dark been getting loud
Give me shelter
From the rain
Tell me I’m worth more than my pain
Thought I’d be somebody new this time around
Or at least be better by now
Better by now
Better by now
