Better Off Alone
Secrets Unveiled: Love's Intricate Dance in 'Better Off Alone'
Lyrics
Let me inside your head
Requesting emotional intimacy, desiring to understand your thoughts
You always tell me I can't stay
Consistently told that staying together is not an option
You say we're only friends
Insistence on being classified only as friends
Then how come you touch me
Questioning the mixed signals due to physical intimacy despite being committed elsewhere
You've got a man back home
Acknowledging your commitment to another person
You just can't wait that long you say
Expressing impatience about waiting for that commitment
It's not for me to know
Understanding that certain information is kept hidden intentionally
But you're still someone else's
Highlighting the fact that you belong to someone else despite the connection
Run away run away take me back
Urging to escape, to return to a past state
Love the way love the way tell me that
Appreciating a specific way of being loved but seeking affirmation
He will never know and we'll be fine
Planning to conceal the affair, hoping it remains undiscovered
You still call me when call me when you're alone
Receiving calls specifically when the other person is lonely
We both know we both know how it goes
Mutual understanding of the recurring pattern despite awareness
I still let you play me every time
Allowing manipulation repeatedly, aware of being played
You blame me for moving on with my life
Being blamed for moving forward despite ongoing involvement
When you've been seeing someone else at night I know you
Awareness of the other person's infidelity despite accusations
Can't stand that I'm doing fine on my own
Discomfort with your ability to thrive independently
Maybe we're just better off alone
Speculation about being better off without each other
Who's that
Questioning about another person's identity
Hanging out with him and then you
Observing interaction with someone else
Text back acting like it's over but I
Contradictory actions and messages, difficulty in straightforward communication
Know that neither one of us can tell it straight
Recognition of mutual avoidance of reality
It's like we still think
Belief that hatred might prevent certain events
Maybe it won't happen if you hate me
Switching between hostility and affection
Then you call me up and call me baby
Returning to endearing terms despite the conflict
Neither one of us can walk away
Feeling unable to detach from the relationship
Run away run away take me back
Repeated plea to revert to a previous state
Love the way love the way tell me that
Admiration for a particular way of being loved but seeking assurance
He will never know and we'll be fine
Intention to maintain secrecy and continue the affair
You still call me when call me when you're alone
Receiving calls specifically when alone, acknowledging mutual understanding
We both know we both know how it goes
Acknowledgment of the recurring pattern despite awareness
I still let you play me every time
Allowing manipulation repeatedly, aware of being played
You blame me for moving on with my life
Being blamed for progressing despite ongoing involvement
When you've been seeing someone else at night I know you
Awareness of the other person's infidelity despite accusations
Can't stand that I'm doing fine on my own
Discomfort with your ability to thrive independently
Maybe we're just better off alone
Speculation about being better off without each other
You blame me for moving on with my life
Being blamed for progressing despite ongoing involvement
When you've been seeing someone else at night I know you
Awareness of the other person's infidelity despite accusations
Can't stand that I'm doing fine on my own
Discomfort with your ability to thrive independently
Maybe we're just better off alone
Speculation about being better off without each other
