You were in the trenches in the midst of winter
You're gonna treat another bottle like a father figure
You were looking for advice, but found another vice
Yea, you always told me you'd be something bigger
You were always on the road, yea, if I remember
Used to keep me on my toes, yea, if I remember
Used to feel I was in the know, was an inside joke
Now I just feel like a poser when I remember
I was picking up the scraps, my momma told me not to litter
Yea, I thought about turning back but she didn't raise a quitter
Thought the problems would unpack if I just got a little richer
Then the chips started to stack, but something was still missing
They were trying to rock the boat, while she was crying me a river
All those hand me down clothes, yea they never seem to fit us
I was working all alone, before anyone would listen
Oo I don't mean to boast, but I really feel I'm winning
Did it get better yet,
Wish I could tell them yes
Does it get better when you know
Did it get better yet,
Wish I could tell them yes
Does it get better when you know
You were in the trenches in the midst of winter
You're gonna treat another bottle like a father figure
You were looking for advice, but found another vice
Yea, you always told me you'd be something bigger
You were always on the road, yea, if I remember
Used to keep me on my toes, yea, if I remember
Used to feel I was in the know, was an inside joke
Now I just feel like a poser when I remember
The things that you hated, you needed the most
So I told you to go, but then prayed that you won't.
Turn my problems to profit, I'm facing my ghosts
It's like all of my trauma was plated in gold
You said, careful making promises with new friends
Stringing you along to cut a loose end
You ain't been the same, you ain't been you since
Is that your two cents
Did it get better yet,
Wish I could tell them yes
Does it get better when you know
Did it get better yet,
Wish I could tell them yes
Does it get better when you know
