about

‘Better Now’ is a shimmering and triumphant celebration of evolving through a time of pain into a healthier headspace.

lyrics

For two months now I've felt just fine
I count my blessings every time
I wake up
It's paying off, this letting go
I've learnt to say no when I know
What I need

I used to be sad, all over the shop
You made me so mad, but I couldn't stop
It took all I had, to push that away
It wasn't your fault, I just had to change

Aah, sooner or later there comes a time
Aah, you grow and get stronger or wait around to die

Last year I wrote a letter to
A person who I thought I knew
I know better now
Today I hung out all my clothes
My head was calm my heart was slow
I am better now

I used to be sad, all over the shop
You made me so mad, but I couldn't stop
It took all I had, to begin again
You don't understand, I don't wanna be friends

Aah, sooner or later there comes a time
Aah, you grow and get stronger or wait around to die

For two years now I've felt just fine
I count my blessings every time
I wake up
