    "Better Now" Lyrics
    You can’t chase the darkness with a bright bright light
    Cus the sunshine burns you up when you get too high
    You can’t cure loneliness with company
    If you really knew yourself you’d never get lonely
    It’s not a ride if you never get off
    It’s not a marathon if you run in a race that don’t stop
    I was killing the pain, the only way I knew how
    But baby I know better now
    Oh, I loved you the way
    The only way I knew how
    But I can love you better now
    We look so perfect from the outside in
    But you can tear down those walls
    You know they were paper thin
    If the weight’s too heavy let break your heart
    That’s how you learn the art of falling apart
    I was killing the pain, the only way
    I knew how But baby I know better now
    Oh, I loved you the way
    The only way I knew how
    But I can love you better now
    I can love you better now,
    Let me love you better now
    I can love you better now,
    Let me love you better now
    It’s not a party if it happens everyday
    It’s not medicine if it just makes the symptoms go away
    I was killing the pain,
    the only way I knew how
    But baby I know better now
    Oh, I loved you the way
    The only way I know how
    But I can love you better now
    I can love you better now
    (can’t you feel the change, I am not the same)
    Let me love you better now
    (I am not the same, can’t you feel the change)
    I can love you better now
    (can’t you feel the change, I am not the same)
    Let me love you better now
    (I am not the same)

    How does this not have more views, the voice, the lyrics that seem like they're about me. Best song I've heard released in quarantine, and this is coming from a bald headed man who listens to old hip hop and heavy rock mostly

      Steve R - I hadn't heard of Serena until today. When I heard this song, I had the EXACT same thought as you.... this song says exactly what I want to say to someone.

    Oh the memories of hearing you play at the pre-show open mics at the Give a Hoot Cafe in the old schoolhouse in Millbrook. You were just a young tike! We were so excited when you would walk in the door with your guitar! We always knew you'd be a star!

    Thank you for this song. I juste discovered it. Last week my kids father tried to take my life and it was the BIGGEST EYE OPENER EVER FOR ME and this song. I can kinda resonate.

      Right. I first came across her voice in the "Tck Tck Tck" campain for climatejustice when they performed beds are burning: aBTZOg6l6cA
      Almost everybody at that time was asking: "Who's that girl at 1:17+". Most didn't realise she already appeared right at the beginning at "0:33". Really an amazing voice and it's great to see her around after all that time.

    Serena Ryder, you simply need to schedule a date to come to Madison, Wisconsin, or schedule a date to come to Summerfest in Milwaukee. You would own both places. Lots of good venues to perform here.

    Love the song...another hit out of the ballpark for you! And the way the video is filmed is awesome. So cool the effects used. Love it! You are my all-time favourite artist. Looking forward to the new album. Comes out just before my birthday in March, so thanks for the beautiful gift. This marks a big milestone for me too, the BIG 50! I feel 20 inside but sadly I am not. So glad you are on the road to recovery. I wish I could say the same for my mental health. Your music really helps me. Stay Strong. And thank you!
