Lyrics
I was shooting with my 35
I used a 35mm camera to capture moments.
Now I'm stuck with all this film I can't develop
I have unused film from those moments that I can't develop.
Debating to leave them behind
I'm considering leaving those moments behind.
Tucked in the archives
The memories are stored in the archives.
For any time I try to stay
Trying to stay in those moments but facing disregard.
And forget about the ways I've been disregarded
Reflecting on the ways I've been ignored.
Better without you anyways
Realizing life is better without the person in question.
So babe I'll see you when I do
Anticipating seeing the person again when it happens.
Darlin'
An affectionate term, addressing the person.
I've been tryna find my way
Struggling to find my path in life.
Been tryin' to communicate
Trying to communicate but facing challenges.
But your mind it's been locked up in chains
The person's mind seems closed or troubled.
Tell me
Requesting honesty about what's beneath the surface.
Babe what's underneath it all
Asking what's hidden and why it's hard to reveal.
And why it's so damn hard to show it off
Accepting that separation is for the best.
Doesn't matter we're best off this way
Believing life is improved without the person.
Because I'm better without you
Expressing the feeling of being better off without the person.
It felt so good to be around you
Enjoyed being around the person before.
But now I'm so good to be without you
Now finding happiness in being without the person.
Tell me was my love not good enough
Questioning if love was not sufficient.
I remember when you said this was forever
Recalling a promise of eternal love.
Exceptions for when times get rough
Making exceptions for tough times.
I still can't comprehend I still don't understand
Struggling to understand the breakup.
I know we're way past that
Acknowledging that it's in the past.
There's no need for us to argue babe
No need for arguments now.
I guess it's true when they say things don't last
Accepting that relationships don't always last.
That just wasn't how I saw you baby
The breakup wasn't anticipated.
Darlin'
Using the affectionate term again.
I've been tryna find my way
Continuing the journey to find oneself.
Been tryin' to communicate
Still facing communication challenges.
But your mind it's been locked up in chains
Reiterating the closed nature of the person's mind.
Tell me
Asking for honesty and openness.
Babe what's underneath it all
Repeating the plea for transparency.
And why it's so damn hard to show it off
Questioning why it's difficult to reveal true feelings.
Doesn't matter we're best off this way
Believing that separation is the best outcome.
Because I'm better without you
Affirming the improvement without the person.
Been wastin' my time
Feeling that time has been wasted.
Oh girl you had my ass fooled
Realizing the person's true nature.
Thought I knew you so well
Thinking I knew the person well.
But now you're actin' brand new
Noticing a change in the person's behavior.
Why am I not surprised
No surprise given the history.
After all we've been through
Despite challenges, the heart advises moving on.
My heart's been talkin' to me
Internal realization of being better off without the person.
And said I'm better without you
Receiving confirmation from the heart.
It felt so good to be around you
Recalling the positive moments with the person.
But now I'm so good to be without you yeah
Feeling content and happy without the person.
Oh na na na na no
Expressing relief and independence.
It felt so good to be around you
Reflecting on the past positive experiences.
But now I'm so good to be without you yeah
Emphasizing the current satisfaction without the person.
