better off
Embracing Liberation: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in J. Maxwell's 'better off'
Lyrics
I'm sick of being here
I feel exhausted and frustrated with my current situation.
Why am I so scared to tell you?
I'm afraid to express my true feelings to you.
The words I wish I said are stuck in my throat
I regret not saying the things I wanted to say; I feel emotionally blocked.
Well, is it just a complex?
Wondering if our relationship issues are complicated or difficult to understand.
Am I really hard to love?
Questioning if I'm challenging to love.
Or do I just shut down when you're around me?
Wondering if I emotionally withdraw when you are present.
I think I held on too long
I realize I held onto this relationship for too long.
Thought it was sweeter than it was
Thought the relationship was better than it actually was.
Gave us my all to know that
I gave my best to understand that...
Without you I'm better off
Being without you is a better state for me.
I'm better off
Reiteration that I am better off without you.
Now I waste the day away cause I'm still caught up in you
I waste my time because I'm still emotionally entangled with you.
The many times you said you loved me guess it wasn't true
Your previous expressions of love now seem untrue.
I hate looking back, forget the past and all the memories
I dislike revisiting the past, including memories.
In the end it just adds up to how you left me hurting
The culmination of memories just emphasizes the pain of how you left me.
I think I held on too long
Reiteration that I held onto the relationship for too long.
Thought it was sweeter than it was
Similar to line 8, realizing the relationship wasn't as sweet as perceived.
Gave us my all to know that
Reiterating the effort I put into the relationship.
Without you I'm better off
Confirming that I am better off without you.
I'm better off
Reiteration that I am better off without you.
Why did you throw my love away?
Questioning why you discarded my love.
Is it me who should have changed?
Wondering if I should have been the one to change for the relationship.
I'm trying my best to find
Struggling to understand your reasons for ending the relationship.
All your reasons why
I'm actively trying to comprehend your motivations.
I hate how this turned out
Expressing displeasure with the current situation.
In the place we've found ourselves
Reflecting on the negative state of our current relationship.
Telling myself it'll work now
Trying to convince myself that things will improve without you.
Without you I'll be better off
Anticipating that I will be better off without you.
Better off
Reiteration that I will be better off without you.
I think I held on too long
Reiteration that I held onto the relationship for too long.
Thought it was sweeter than it was
Similar to line 8 and 17, realizing the relationship wasn't as sweet as perceived.
Gave us my all to know that
Reiterating the effort I put into the relationship.
Without you I'm better off
Confirming that I am better off without you.
Better off
Reiteration that I will be better off without you.
Better off
-Better off
Final confirmation that I am better off without you.
