Walker, Butch - Better Now Lyrics






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 [?]
Drinkin' whisky and I'm tryna forget
But I can't get this shit outta my head

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 seen you with your 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 house, another diamond ring
Because no matter how my life has changed
I keep on looking back on better days

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 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
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

Walker, Butch Better Now Comments
  1. M.... M....

    This is one of the coolest music videos I’ve ever seen and a testament to how phenomenal Butch Walker is as a musician and producer.

  2. W.... K....

    Saw you on Audition channel discussing your music, I appreciate your confidence, but it it borders on cockiness. Never heard your music before, and hope to never hear it again! Growing up in Detroit, i listened to Iggy Pop in the 70s. Your💩 sounds like a bad "boy band"!!

    W.... K....

    Very cool bro! Glad you are so legit that you grew up in DETROIT. You are SO LUCKY. As far as being “cocky”, you should check out every Iggy Pop interview. By the way.. this song is a cover of a contemporary pop artist, so do you homework. What do you do for a living, bill? I’d love to critique it sometime. What i am really trying to say here is.... go get a fucking life instead of posting 3rd grader comments on YouTube about someone you don’t have a clue about, you fucking man child. Have a great day and fuck off. How’s that for some Detroit love...

    W.... K....

    @Butch Walker - it's perfect for someone not from the Motor City that has their head up their ASS. 'Man child", as the Alice Cooper lyric states "I got a
    Baby's brain and an old man's heart". That 1971 song was a garage-glam-punk trailblazer and you could only hope to be so profound. The Metro Times music staff said it perfectly "the song's an ear-bending snapshot of teen torment that's literate and littered with slinky subtext — its deliberate pace, ascending guitar and bass lines lend a weird tension to this anthem."

    W.... K....

    William Krupar oh shit, Willy... i didn’t realized you had mental problems. My bad. Keep it chill...

  3. T.... P....

    LOVE💕💕

  4. M.... F....

  9. T.... T....

    Angry comments from scared old white males in 3...2..1

    This is freaking AMAZING. I like it better than the original! On repeat for sure.

  11. j.... l....

    Never heard of Post Malone, but I like this song when you do it!

  12. T.... 1....

    Not sure if there is a better artist that can do a cover of any song and make it amazing.

  13. J.... ....

  14. m.... h....

    Congratulations on your 2 Grammy nominations.. I'm better now

  16. s.... ....

    I’m a fan dude but damn. song is trash , but hey I can play all these instruments 😐

    s.... ....

    @Butch Walker I think he's inferring that Butch was showing off his skills as opposed to saying he could do the same thing. Salty comment regardless, really :)

  17. D.... P....

    Holy Sh** did you knock that out of the park. Damn, man. Damn.

  18. M.... C....

    All the instruments... much like Prince ♥️

  19. J.... ....

    M.... R....

    I don't think the band uniform is helping any.

    M.... R....

    D.... W....

    @Steve Ryan I thought the same exact thing when I typed it. Iol The basic point was made though. 😊

  39. T.... J....
