Better Apart
Unraveling Love's Echo: Emotional Oranges' 'Better Apart'
Lyrics
We don't say it now, can't admit we were so wrong about this
We are currently unable to acknowledge our previous misconceptions about this situation.
We were intertwined
We were closely connected.
Like a tree and vine, grown in silence
Our connection was silent and grew naturally like a tree and a vine.
We don't show it now, but I can tell every single tear we poured has run out
Although we don't express it now, I can sense that we have exhausted every tear we shed.
Looking back on us and now it all feels shallow
Reflecting on our past, it now seems superficial.
Say it's all or nothin', oh why?
Questioning why we label it as an all-or-nothing situation when we are aware that the relationship is deteriorating.
When we know we're falling out
Acknowledging the decline of our relationship.
Hanging on to nothin', no lie
Holding on to something that is essentially nothing, not being truthful.
We're better apart (we're better apart)
We are better off separated.
Say it's all or nothin', oh why?
Questioning the insistence on an all-or-nothing approach despite the evident falling out.
When we know we're falling out
Acknowledging the decline of our relationship.
Hanging on to nothin', no lie
Holding on to something that is essentially nothing, not being truthful.
We're better apart (we're better apart)
We are better off separated.
It's hard letting go of a familiar thing
Finding it challenging to let go of something familiar.
Telling myself it'll be ok
Trying to convince oneself that things will be okay.
Close my eyes, hear you call my name, yeah
Recalling the experience of hearing your name being called with closed eyes.
Said it's hard keeping cool when I feel this way
Expressing the difficulty of staying composed when feeling this emotional.
Telling myself all these things'll change
Self-assurance that things will change.
Close my eyes, hear you call my name
Recalling the experience of hearing your name being called with closed eyes.
So enigmatic, wait, am I too dramatic?
Describing the mysterious and puzzling nature of the situation.
Wait, can't shake old habits, they keep haunting me
Acknowledging the difficulty of breaking old habits that continue to haunt.
But you had the magic with me
Recognizing the magical connection that existed.
No going backwards with me
Stating that there is no turning back.
How'd you decide it ain't me?
Questioning the decision to exclude me from your life.
Say it's all or nothin', oh why?
Questioning why we label it as an all-or-nothing situation when we are aware that the relationship is deteriorating.
When we know we're falling out
Acknowledging the decline of our relationship.
Hanging on to nothin', no lie
Holding on to something that is essentially nothing, not being truthful.
We're better apart (we're better apart)
We are better off separated.
Say it's all or nothin', oh why?
Questioning the insistence on an all-or-nothing approach despite the evident falling out.
When we know we're falling out
Acknowledging the decline of our relationship.
Hanging on to nothin', no lie
Holding on to something that is essentially nothing, not being truthful.
We're better apart (we're better apart)
We are better off separated.
