Better Off
Breaking Free: Embracing Liberation from Love's Chains
Lyrics
It's been a long time without you but now I realize it's true
After a prolonged period without the person, the realization dawns that being apart is the right path.
I'm better off being without you, without you
Affirmation of the improved state when not in the presence of the person, emphasizing the idea of being better off without them.
Now I know you'll carry on without the pain
Understanding that the person will continue their life without the burden of emotional pain.
You've got a lie, I've got myself to blame
Acknowledgment of a deception or falsehood, accepting personal responsibility for the consequences.
I'm better off being without you
Reiteration of the improved state when separated from the individual.
Now I'm alone
Expressing the current state of solitude after the separation.
I think about the way you brought me down
Reflecting on the negative impact the person had by bringing the speaker down.
I wish we could have made it
Expressing a wish for a successful relationship despite its absence now.
But since you're not around
Recognizing the impossibility of the relationship due to the absence of the person.
I'll carry on
Commitment to moving forward despite the challenges and heartache.
Knowing the pain
Acknowledging the enduring pain associated with the separation.
Knowing what could have been
Reflecting on what could have been, emphasizing the missed opportunities.
I might not be the same but still I know
Though changed, the speaker acknowledges that they are not the same person but still finds strength.
I'm better off being without you
Reaffirmation of the belief that life is improved when not connected to the person.
Now I'm alone, now I can see
Emphasizing the clarity gained in solitude, understanding the benefits of being without the person.
I'm better off being without you
Final assertion of the improved state when separated from the individual.
