better than this

Released: February 19, 2024

lyrics

Every thought, I gotta keep in check
Even though it’s probably for the best
And it’s like I oughta be a mess
‘Cause I automatically am
And I never got to be your man
Know I envy whoever he is
I just know we could do better than this
And you left me a wreck

I never [?]
Can’t I just [?]
I know I’d leave you red
We’d never leave your bed
You'd always [?]
You’d [?]
Now can I see it then?
Can’t you just [?]

about

Intentionally, better than this is embarrassingly desperate and heartbroken; it sounds like a mess. The instrumental is purposely incredibly loud.

The second half of the song is intentionally indiscernible and slurred; what is truly said is only known by the writer and very few others.

A majority of the track—namely its instrumental—had been established in 2021 but came to its completion in 2024.

At the time of its release, it was titled proposition.

This track is related to i got to look at her.
