For Emilee

(album: Dangerous Levels Of Introspection - 2021)

I got your back no matter what, even if you fuck up
I know you're just looking for love in the last place you left it
I promise, I get it
I just don't wanna see you getting hurt again
Going against the best advice of all your friends

So let's pickup the conversation
'Bout how you deserve better
I was happy when you left her
And I really fucking hate her,
But I swear I'd make an effort
If she made you happy
But she doesn't make you happy
She's hot and she's familiar
So you let her treat you badly
I really can't stress this enough

It takes some time
It hurts til it doesn't
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
It takes some time, but wait til it happens
Someone better than you can imagine
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
Better than this, better than this
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
Better than this, better than this
I promise that it's gonna get better

I got your back no matter what
Everybody's got their blind spots
But you've been looking through 'em a lot
You're distorting the memories
And I can see you forgetting
Why we wrote down 11 reasons not to fuck with her
She's texts you once, and now you're waiting up for her

It takes some time
It hurts til it doesn't
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
It takes some time, but wait til it happens
Someone better than you can imagine
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
Better than this, better than this
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
Better than this, better thanthis
I promise that it's gonna get better

I'm not tryna pressure
But I was happy when you left her
And I really fucking hate her,
But I swear I'd make an effort
If she made you happy
But she doesn't make you happy
She's hot and she's familiar so you let her treat you badly
I really can't stress this enough

It takes some time
It hurts til it doesn't
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
It takes some time, but wait til it happens
Someone better than you can imagine
Everyone loves you, that's just it
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
Better than this, better than this
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
Better than this, better than this
I promise that it's gonna get better
