K[no]w Better

(album: Western - 2022)

I've read all the red letters in the bible
My parents taught me touching fire gets you burned
I've watched all of the TED talks 'bout addiction
But there's a difference between "I know" and "I've learned"
So I'm always talking to my therapist
And he's tryna talk me off the ledge
Same problems that we've tried to fix a thousand times

I know better
So you'd think by now I'd have my shit together
But I don't and it shows every time
I drink too much, text my ex
Let the voices in my head get the best of me
I know better
But I'm no better

I know better
But I'm no better
I know better

I make promises at New Year's resolutions
Swear to God I'll get it right this time around
But then it's back to six shots deep on a Saturday night
And I know in the morning I'm paying the price
When I wake up next to her, I guess I'll never learn

Yeah, I know better
So you'd think by now I'd have my shit together
But I don't and it shows every time
I drink too much, text my ex
Let the voices in my head get the best of me
I know better
But I'm no better

I know better
But I'm no better
I know better

I'm always talking to my therapist
And he's tryna talk me off the ledge
Same problems that we've tried to fix a thousand times

I know better
So you'd think by now I'd have my shit together
But I don't and it shows every time
I drink too much, text my ex
Let the voices in my head get the best of me
I know better
But I'm no better

I know better
But I'm no better
I know better (whoa)
I'm no better
I know better
But I'm no better
I know better
I'm no better
