Unveiling Heartbreak: Maya Gabriel's 'Better' Chronicles Love's Imperfections
Lyrics
Here we are, again
Reflecting on the current situation or relationship.
Taking steps back, just friends
Regressing to a platonic relationship, stepping back from a romantic one.
Seems like yesterday, that we began
Nostalgia about the beginning of the relationship, time seems to have passed quickly.
I would give everything
Expressing willingness to make significant sacrifices for the relationship.
Just to breathe you in one more time
Desire to experience the partner's presence once more.
Hold you tight, by my side, and tell you I,
Expressing the desire to be close, appreciate, and communicate feelings.
Appreciate ya
Acknowledging and expressing gratitude for the partner.
You've got your walls up like its china
Comparing emotional barriers to the strength of china walls.
Everyday I was tryna break 'em down
Consistent effort to break down emotional walls each day.
Show you what my love's about
Expressing a desire to reveal the depth of one's love.
I know that I
Acknowledging a missed opportunity or mistake.
Could have loved you better
Recognizing the potential for a higher level of love and care.
Could have helped you, forget her
Expressing a desire to help the partner move on from past pain.
And all the hurt she put you through
Acknowledging and empathizing with the partner's past hurt.
But you, said it was the wrong time
Referring to the partner's rejection, citing bad timing.
Guess that makes this the right time, the right time
Positing the current moment as the right time to part ways.
To say goodbye
Expressing the inevitability of saying goodbye.
Everything we were
Acknowledging the positive aspects of the relationship.
And everything we had, it wasn't all bad (no no no)
Emphasizing that the relationship had its good moments.
It wasn't all bad
Reaffirming that not all aspects of the relationship were negative.
I really tried when I was having winter dreams in July a love gone cold
Recalling efforts to salvage the relationship during challenging times.
Nobody to hold
Expressing loneliness and the absence of emotional support.
But to do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing no
Despite challenges, expressing a lack of regret and a willingness to repeat the experience.
You've got your walls up like its china
Reiteration of the partner's emotional barriers.
Everyday I was tryna break 'em down
Persistent effort to break down the emotional walls continues.
Show you what my love's about
Reiterating the intention to reveal the depth of one's love.
I know that I, could have loved you better
Recognition of a missed opportunity to love the partner more deeply.
Could have helped you, forget her
Expressing a desire to assist the partner in moving on from past pain.
And all the hurt she put you through
Acknowledging and empathizing with the partner's past hurt.
But you, said it was the wrong time
Referring to the partner's rejection, citing bad timing.
Guess that makes this the right time, the right time
Positing the current moment as the right time to part ways.
To say goodbye
Expressing the inevitability of saying goodbye.
