Love's Complex Dance: Unraveling Emotions in Casey Derhak's 'Better'
Lyrics
Sometimes I start to doubt if what I'm thinkings right
Sometimes the singer questions the validity of their thoughts.
My head is hard but my heart beats it all the time
The singer's mind is resilient, but their heart continues to beat, indicating emotional vulnerability.
What I'm feeling now inside I try to fight
Despite internal struggles, the singer resists acknowledging their current emotions.
How could this work when we failed the first try
Expressing doubts about the potential success of a renewed relationship after a previous failure.
I swear I know you love me but I need just a little more
Acknowledging love but expressing a need for more in the relationship.
You say your so so sorry but how do I know for sure
Questioning the sincerity of apologies and seeking assurance.
Tell me this time you'll love me forever
Requesting a commitment of eternal love in this attempt at reconciliation.
All the reasons why we should be together
Asking for reasons supporting the idea that they should be together.
I wanna feel high but i'm not a pretender
Expressing a desire for emotional elevation without pretense.
Make up my mind that nothing is better better oh
Deciding that nothing is better than making a choice.
Should we be letting go or should we take a chance
Pondering whether to let go or take a risk in the relationship.
Our love is harder to predict than the weather
Comparing the predictability of their love to the unpredictable nature of the weather.
Deep in my heart I know you're the one I want
Confidently stating that the person is the one the singer wants deep in their heart.
But all I want is for you to love me better better better
Despite the certainty, the singer desires improved and more profound love.
You to love me
Repeating the desire for the person to love them better.
Better better better
Reiteration of the need for improved love.
I'm sorry if it seems that I'm feeling torn
Apologizing if their emotions seem conflicted or torn.
We make up make love then we make war
Describing the cycle of their relationship involving love, conflict, and reconciliation.
All I wanna be and ever was is yours
Expressing a commitment to be entirely for the other person.
Give me a love that I wanna fight for
Yearning for a love worth fighting for.
I swear I know you love me but I need just a little more
Reiterating the need for more love despite knowing it exists.
You say your so so sorry but how do I know for sure
Questioning the certainty of apologies and seeking reassurance.
Tell me this time you'll love me forever
Requesting a commitment to eternal love once again.
All the reasons why we should be together
Seeking reasons why the relationship should persist.
I wanna feel high but I'm not a pretender
Expressing a desire for genuine emotional elevation.
Make up my mind that nothing is better better oh
Deciding that nothing is better than a particular choice made in the mind.
Should we be letting go or should we take a chance
Weighing the options of letting go or taking a chance in the relationship.
Our love is harder to predict than the weather
Highlighting the unpredictability of their love, drawing a parallel to the weather.
Deep in my heart I know you're the one I want
