Better By Now Lyrics - R I T U A L

[Verse 1] 

I close my eyes and count to ten 

I've made mistakes I know I'll make again 

I write messages I'll never send 

I'm not okay but if you want it I'll pretend 

It's all good, I'm not scared and I'll hold on 

[Chorus] 

But you said, I'd be better by now 

All my friends, said I'd be better by now 

But who cares? 'Cause I'm not better by now, no 

I'm not better by now 

And you said I'd be better by now 

All my friends, said I'd be better by now 

But who cares? 'Cause I'm not better by now, no 

I'm not better by now 

[Verse 2] 

Another 4 AM my battery is low 

And I still miss you checking that I got home 

Leave the lights on when I sleep alone 

And I know I should but I just can't let go 

It's no good, I'm still scared, wish I was strong 

[Chorus] 

But you said, I'd be better by now 

All my friends, said I'd be better by now 

But who cares? 'Cause I'm not better by now, no 

I'm not better by now 

And you said I'd be better by now 

All my friends, said I'd be better by now 

But who cares? 'Cause I'm not better by now, no 

I'm not better by now 

[Bridge] 

I miss you, I miss me 

The me I was before, the me before the storm 

'Cause if I miss you, then I miss me 

The me I was before, the me before the storm 

Yeah, I miss you and I miss me 

The me I was before, the me before the storm 

Yeah, I miss you, I miss me 

The me I was before 

[Chorus] 

And you said, I'd be better by now 

All my friends, said I'd be better by now 

But who cares? 'Cause I'm not better by now, no 

I'm not better by now 

And you said I'd be better by now 

All my friends, said I'd be better by now 

But who cares? 'Cause I'm not better by now, no 

I'm not better by now
