Better to Be Lonely
Emotional Journey: Struggles of Love & Independence
Lyrics
Back up now who you tryna play
Expressing frustration and urging someone to reveal their true intentions.
You keep on pushing me away
Noticing a pattern of being pushed away by the person being addressed.
And you’re looking for someone to play you’re games looking for someone
Observing the person's search for someone to engage in games or manipulation.
Hard to feel anything these days
Describing difficulty in experiencing emotions in the present time.
Feelings fade to black in a daze
Emphasizing the fading of feelings and a sense of confusion.
You’re coming back and forth when you please
Noting the person's inconsistent behavior, coming back and forth as they please.
Crawling back to me when you please
Highlighting a repeated pattern of returning to the speaker when convenient.
Keep on telling pretty lies
Calling out the person for consistently telling deceptive lies.
And i know you’ll go and my thoughts run wild
Acknowledging the imminent departure of the person, causing anxious thoughts.
I can’t hold you close no i can’t have you
Expressing the inability to be close to the person any longer.
No more and i tried i tried but every time you lied you lied yeah
Reflecting on unsuccessful attempts to maintain trust, especially in the face of lies.
Moving so far away from me and it’s better to be lonely
Recognizing the necessity of distance for emotional well-being.
Caught off guard i’m looking sanity
Feeling caught off guard and losing a sense of sanity in the relationship.
You’ll be fine and i’ll just slowly sink
Accepting the idea of personal decline while the other person moves on.
Opening my eyes to new things
Opening up to new experiences despite the emotional challenges.
Harder to forget some things
Expressing the difficulty of forgetting certain experiences.
I wish i could erase everything
Wishing for the ability to erase painful memories and emotions.
What you said then you didn’t mean
Highlighting the disparity between words spoken and their actual meaning.
Any chance you got to get closer to me
Noting the person's attempts to get closer to the speaker.
Any chance to escape reality
Identifying a desire to escape the harshness of reality.
Keep on telling pretty lies
Reiterating the frustration with the consistent telling of deceptive lies.
And i know you’ll go and my thoughts run wild
Anticipating the departure of the person and the accompanying wild thoughts.
I can’t hold you close no i can’t have you
Expressing the impossibility of holding the person close any longer.
No more and i tried i tried but every time you lied you lied yeah
Repeating the struggle with lies and the resulting frustration.
Moving so far away from me and it’s better to be lonely
Reaffirming the decision that distance is better for emotional well-being.
Baby i’m tired of playing games
Conveying weariness with playing emotional games in the relationship.
You know i’m tired you’re still the same
Noting the lack of change in the person's behavior despite exhaustion.
Nothing left not tryna stay
Acknowledging that there is nothing left and expressing a desire to leave.
No one left here anyway oh
