Lyrics
It's better that it hurts,
Feeling pain is preferable because it's a more honest experience
It's better that it feels this way to me
The pain signifies authenticity and truth in emotions
I can't be too comfortable
Avoiding comfort because loving this person isn't meant to be
'Cause loving you is not my destiny
Loving this person is not fated or destined for the speaker
Said I'm concerned that I feel this pain
Worried about feeling emotional pain
My heart is aching, breaking, pain staking in this gambling thing
Experiencing intense heartache and struggle in this relationship
This ain't no parallel universe, parallel life
There's no alternate reality where things are different
You choose to in one your living like love of my life
One reality depicts deep love, while the other involves fathering children without deep connection
And in the other your the daddy of theirs
Living different lives in different realities
So I play Russian Roulette and put this phone to my ear
Feeling uncertain and risking emotional pain by contacting
Just to say, yo this is Ms. Stress
Introducing herself as "Ms. Stress" due to the anxiety and emotional turmoil
It's better that it hurts,
Emphasizing the importance of feeling pain as it's more truthful
It's better that it feels this way to me
Reiterating that emotional pain signifies honesty in feelings
I can't be too comfortable
Being uncomfortable is necessary because of the relationship's nature
'Cause loving you is not my destiny
Love for this person is not meant to be
See too much asked of me through his lips
Feeling pressured by expectations and demands
So I attempted to be all that dreams suggest to the ego and promise the soul
Striving to fulfill various roles and expectations
I tried to be all he had ever told of the interchangeable face
Trying to embody everything the person desires
And physicality and mentality of she as closely ?
Attempting to match the person's ideal physical and mental image
He summoned all my tears abandoned we
Feeling abandoned and alone despite efforts
I lived alone for years, no longer knowing who exactly is me
Loss of self-identity due to prolonged isolation
As I began the punishment for his perfection
Beginning to suffer consequences for trying to be perfect for the person
My vision nearly lost the direction
Feeling lost and losing focus on personal goals
My return to innocence was lost and his ID
Lost innocence and identification with the person
You see I forgot instead I saw protection through judgment
Mistaking judgment for protection
Now angels and devils look alike to me
Unable to differentiate between good and bad influences
Sometimes quiet sounds like lonely to me
Silence feels like isolation and loneliness
My angel I stopped breathing for you
Metaphorically sacrificing for the person
If my life was possible without end to be sure
Desiring an eternal connection with the person
If love I'm needing more than just a casual affair
Wanting more than a superficial relationship
But the pain runs deep internally
Emotional pain deeply affects the speaker
But clearly seen when your not there
The absence of the person is profoundly felt
It's better that it hurts,
Emphasizing the importance of painful emotions for authenticity
It's better that it feels this way to me
Reinforcing the idea that feeling discomfort is necessary in this situation
I can't be too comfortable
Being too comfortable isn't suitable due to the nature of the relationship
'Cause loving you is not my destiny
Highlighting that loving this person isn't destined for the speaker
It's better that it hurts,
Repeating the idea that pain signifies authenticity
It's better that it feels this way to me
Reiterating the importance of feeling the pain truthfully
I can't be too comfortable
Being too comfortable isn't feasible in this relationship
'Cause loving you is not my destiny
Loving this person isn't fated or destined
Yo, yo, yo it ain't my time to die right now
Rejecting the idea of succumbing to the situation and giving up
You to I means death of my heart my visions my dreams
Being with this person would mean losing personal aspirations and dreams
Yo, yo, yo it ain't my time to die right now
Emphasizing the avoidance of a situation that would destroy personal ambitions
You to I means death of my heart my visions my dreams
Being with this person would jeopardize the speaker's heart, vision, and dreams
