Better Than You
Finding Worth Beyond Heartbreak
Lyrics
With that cast on my wrist, I still held you down
Despite having a cast on my wrist, I supported and stood by you.
With a hole in my heart, I still loved you, girl
Even with a hole in my heart, I continued to love you.
With no time to give, I still made time for us, oh
Though I had little time to spare, I made an effort to prioritize our relationship.
Now you picture me rollin', picture me rollin
Now you imagine me moving forward in life.
Away from you
Expressing a physical or emotional distance from the person.
Baby, you don't thief my heart, oh
You didn't steal my heart; it's not yours.
Now you hoppin' on it like it's spring bed, spring bed, yeah
Now you're showing interest as if it's a comfortable place, like a spring bed.
Baby, don't waste my time, oh
Don't waste my time.
I could've done something better
I could have chosen a better path or made better decisions.
I could've found someone better, better than you, you, you
I could have found someone superior to you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Reiteration of the possibility of finding someone better.
Better than you
-Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-Better than you
-It be like say I no get brain powder
Expressing self-doubt, feeling like lacking intelligence or understanding.
It be like say I no get sense
-Like I know they think, oh, oh, oh
-But you fished for me, your love got me hooked
Your love was enticing and drew me in.
Swear to God, girl, you might control me
Emphasizing the significant influence the person has over the speaker.
You might lick my pity
Suggesting vulnerability or dependence on the person.
You act like you're the only one for me
The person acted as if they were the only suitable partner.
You were there for me, but wasn't there for me
You were there for me, but not emotionally supportive.
Oh, baby, oh, baby, my girlie
Expressing disappointment and heartbreak.
Why you be do me like this
-Took my heart and tore it up in many ways
-Now I'm broken
-Baby, don't thief my heart, though
Reiteration of not letting the person take the speaker's heart.
Now you hopping on it like a spring bed, spring bed, yeah
Now you're acting as if pursuing the speaker is easy or casual.
Baby, don't waste my time, oh
Don't waste my time.
I could've done something better
Reflecting on missed opportunities for a better outcome.
I could've found someone better, better than you, you, you
I could have found someone better than you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Reiteration of the possibility of finding someone better.
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-Better than you
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
Concluding emphasis on finding someone superior to the current partner.
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-Oh better than you
