[Verse 1]
You said it's so hard sleeping through night
And you've been trying to hide your tired eyes
I remember what that feels like
When your thoughts become a prison cell
But telling everyone you're doing well
I remember what that feels like
You've been asking why God why
Do you always gotta take your time?
[Chorus]
I know that it's not better yet
I know you're freaking out
I know you think if you were Him
You'd of rescued you by now
I know the last thing you wanna hear is keep waiting patiently
I know that it's not better yet
But one day it's gonna be
[Verse 2]
So pray with everything you've got
He's a never gonna leave you God
I can promise you that
He's not done with you friend
[Chorus]
I know that it's not better yet
I know you're freaking out
I know you think if you were Him
You'd of rescued you by now
I know the last thing you wanna hear is keep waiting patiently
I know that it's not better yet
But one day it's gonna be
Yeah
One day it's gonna be
[Verse 3]
I know that it's not better yet
I know you're freaking out
I know you think if you were Him
You'd of rescued you by now
I know the last thing you wanna hear is keep waiting patiently
I know that it's not better yet
I know that it's not better yet
But one day it's gonna be
[Chorus]
Yeah
One day it's gonna be
Better Yet
Song Meaning
Leanna Crawford refuses to offer false comfort in "Better Yet" — "I know that it's not better yet, I know you're freaking out, I know you think if you were Him, You'd of rescued you by now." Every line starts with "I know," naming the listener's actual frustration instead of correcting it or rushing past it toward reassurance.
"I know the last thing you wanna hear is keep waiting patiently" openly admits the song's own message is unwelcome, which is a rare thing for a song of comfort to say about itself. "You've been asking why God why, do you always gotta take your time?" keeps the question raw and specific rather than softening it into something safer to sing.
"So pray with everything you've got, He's a never gonna leave you God, I can promise you that, He's not done with you friend" finally shifts from naming the pain to offering something solid, but the song still won't claim the wait is over — "one day it's gonna be" stays a promise about the future, not a resolution happening now.
