Better Off
Rising from Heartbreak: Kalsey Kulyk's Empowering 'Better Off' Journey
Lyrics
Yeah, I'm better
The singer emphasizes feeling better off.
Yeah, I'm better
-Yeah, I'm better, better off
-It would've been another guy, another lie
Reflecting on avoiding heartbreak and running away from emotional pain.
Another void to fill inside
-Just like I always did
-'Cause I've always done
-Just what it took to run
-From feeling of pain for you
-And anything that felt like a reminder
Avoiding reminders of falling out of love.
Of falling out of love again
-It's like another life back then
Describing a past life and the choice to start anew.
I'm a stranger to a could have been
-If I never started over
-Right there, right where I found me
Finding solace and self-love in the present moment.
Put my saving arms around me
-And I'm holding on, I'm better off
-From a broken hearted yesterday
Overcoming a broken heart, walking a challenging path, and realizing it was for the better.
Told myself that it'll pass by
-Wipe the tears out of my sad eyes
-Walked the trail less travelled on
-Got lost but now I'm better off
-Yeah, I'm better
Reiterating the feeling of being better off.
Yeah, I'm better
-Yeah, I'm better, better off
-Grow and felt like breaking
Acknowledging mistakes and the transformation into a new self.
Made the same mistakes that hurt
-Until there was nothing
-Left of what was someone else
-It's like another life back then
Finding closure and distancing from a past that could have been.
I'm a stranger to a could have been
-Yeah, I found some kinda closure
-Right there, right where I found me
Embracing oneself, holding on, and realizing the journey was worth it.
Put my saving arms around me
-And I'm holding on, I'm better off
-From the broken hearted yesterday
-Told myself that it'll pass by
-Wipe the tears out of my sad eyes
-Walked the trail less travelled on
-Got lost but now I'm better off
-Yeah, I'm better
Reaffirming the sense of being better off.
Yeah, I'm better
-Yeah, I'm better, better off
-It's not the easy road
Expressing the difficulty of the journey but finding strength in solitude.
It didn't take me home
-Yeah, I was all alone
-It's not the easy road
-It didn't take me home
-Yeah, I was all alone
-Right there, right where I found me
Recapitulating the journey, finding strength, and being better off.
Put my saving arms around me
-And I'm holding on, I'm better off
-From a broken hearted yesterday
-Told myself that it'll pass by
-Wipe the tears out of my sad eyes
-Walked the trail less travelled on
-Got lost but now I'm better off
-Yeah, I'm better
Final affirmation of being better off.
Yeah, I'm better
-Yeah, I'm better, better off
-Yeah, I'm better off, hmm
