Better Off
Embracing Liberation: Maria Kate's 'Better Off' Unveils the Path to Independence
Lyrics
I guess it's alright
Feeling acceptance or resignation about a situation.
Didn't do, you right
Acknowledging a failure to treat someone well.
Always asking for another try
Noting a persistent request for another chance in the relationship.
'Cause you're still on my mind when I'm up all night
Expressing lingering thoughts about the person even during sleepless nights.
Night, night
Repetition for emphasis, possibly emphasizing the impact of nights.
Fighting how it made me feel when you said I lied
Conveying emotional struggle caused by an accusation of dishonesty.
Deep breaths and I can't look you in the eyes
Describing difficulty in facing the person, possibly due to guilt or shame.
Heart is heavy, feel you leaving
Indicating a sense of emotional weight and the feeling of the person leaving.
You don't hold my hand my hand as tight, anymore
Observing a decrease in the intimacy or connection in the relationship.
Anymore, anymore
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the change in the level of connection.
I won't blame you if you leave
Expressing understanding and acceptance if the person decides to end the relationship.
I know it's hard
Acknowledging the challenges faced by the person in dealing with the speaker.
Hard to deal with me
Recognizing the speaker's own difficulties and the impact on the relationship.
I know that it hurts to see me go
Acknowledging the pain caused by the speaker's departure.
But I'm better off alone
Asserting independence and stating that being alone is preferable.
I'm better off alone
Reiteration of the speaker's belief in being better off without the relationship.
I won't blame you if you leave
Repeating the acceptance of the person's potential decision to leave.
I know that's it's hard
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the challenges faced by the person in the relationship.
Hard to deal with me
Restating the recognition of the difficulty of dealing with the speaker.
I know that it hurts to see me go
Repeating the acknowledgment of the pain caused by the speaker leaving.
But I'm better off
Emphasizing the speaker's belief in personal improvement through solitude.
I'm better off alone
Reiterating the assertion that being alone is preferable for the speaker.
