Get Along Better
Drake; Ty Dolla $ign Lyrics

Uh
Expression of uncertainty or hesitation, perhaps due to the sensitive nature of the conversation to follow.

This might be too real, too real
Acknowledgment that the upcoming discussion may be uncomfortably real or honest for both parties involved.

Hold me closer in these Trying times, supposed to be mine Baby
Request for emotional support and intimacy in difficult times, as the partner was expected to be there.

I need some help just like anyone else Hold me closer in these Trying times, open your eyes Baby
Admission of vulnerability and desire for the partner to be present and attentive in order to help overcome struggles.

You said you felt something for me (talk to 'em) I don't know when Based on the signals you send Based on the way you apologize When you came to see me and then (then what?) You had the nerve to defend (defend what?) Mistakes that you made at the end
Questioning the sincerity of the partner's previous feelings, based on mixed signals and later actions that contradicted those previous emotions.

You said I was too invested And that's what had forced you to go and pretend I swear you're crazy Someone that's close to you reached out to me just to see if we had made amends (oh)
Insinuation that the partner's decision to fake their feelings or actions was due to feeling overwhelmed or pressured by the other person's level of investment in the relationship. Also, alluding to confirmation of the partner's lack of genuine remorse or desire for reconciliation from a mutual friend.

Trust me, this ain't 'bout revenge But now I get along better with your friend (woo) And it's wrong, I know (know, know, know) But again (ooh, yeah) Trust me, this ain't 'bout revenge I get along better with your friend (oh) And it's wrong, I know, it's wrong, I know, oh
Clarification that the attraction towards the partner's friend is not driven by a desire for revenge, though there may be some guilt or shame associated with the situation.

No You said you felt, you said you felt Something that's different from everyone else You had the nerve to still ask for my help Dug you out ditches, you buried yourself, ah-oh
Recollection of past conversations where the partner expressed feeling a deeper connection or bond, despite subsequently betraying that trust. Acknowledgment that the artist played a supportive role in the partner's life, despite their behavior causing trouble or problems.

You said you fell And I took your word that night in our hotel One thing about time, surely, time's gonna tell Never had to work for much, so you said it yourself, ah-oh, oh
Reflection on an intimate moment where the partner expressed vulnerability or dependence, yet later actions proved to be disingenuous. Suggestion that past statements about having an easy or effortless life were indeed true.

Can't let it go, can't get this out of me This shit still bothers me Don't you dare (don't you dare) Don't say you're proud of me (don't you dare) That shit's not real to me (don't you dare) Now you wanna come crack to me (crack, crack) Three whole years after me Why did you wait 'til the end?
Describing the lingering emotions and resentment associated with the partner's past behavior. Warning the partner against making false or insincere statements in the present. Questioning the timing of the partner's attempts at communication, as it seems too late to have a genuine impact on the situation.

Trust me, this ain't 'bout revenge But now I get along better with your friend, friend And it don't feel wrong, but again Trust me, this ain't 'bout revenge I get along better with your friend Oh, and it's wrong, I know, but again Trust me, this ain't 'bout revenge I get along better with your friend
Reiterating that the singer's actions are not meant to be vengeful, but are instead a result of natural attraction towards the partner's friend. Accepting that the situation may be morally murky, but emphasizing that there is no ulterior motive at play.
