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.
