Better Than Being Yours
Embracing Solitude: Finding Light After Love's Shadows
Lyrics
I'd rather be lonely than still fucked up on your love
I prefer being alone than still dealing with the emotional turmoil caused by your love.
The wind rustles through the trees and the clouds roll up above
Nature continues with its usual activities, symbolizing the constancy of life despite personal struggles.
The sun still rises in the morn and it sets and night, uh huh
Highlighting the regular cycle of day and night, emphasizing life's continuity despite personal ups and downs.
The world is still revolving whether you're in my life or not
Life goes on, and the world keeps turning, whether you are a part of my life or not.
And I know you're in somebody else's arms, but hurt can only go so far
Acknowledging the pain of knowing the person is with someone else, but recognizing that pain has its limits.
And I was sick of folding in when it got too hard
Expressing frustration with giving up when faced with difficulties in the past.
Have I moved on I don't know, but I refuse to let you go
Uncertain about moving on but determined not to hold onto the past.
You're a valuable lesson, one I wish I'd always known
Considering the past relationship as a valuable lesson that could have been learned earlier.
Sometimes you have to shrink to grow, not always sunshine and rainbows
Acknowledging personal growth often involves facing challenges and hardships.
But without the darkness even the light would seem cold
Recognizing the importance of darkness (difficult times) to appreciate the light (good times).
Sometimes just the way it goes, and I will be alright I'm sure
Acceptance of the natural course of events and expressing confidence in future well-being.
Yes I'm Lonely now, but it's better than being yours
Despite feeling lonely now, it's preferable to being in a relationship with you.
Glad I'm lonely instead of you messin with ma head
Choosing loneliness over the emotional turmoil caused by the other person.
The strings on my guitar still ring, heart no longer weighed down by lead
The artist finds relief in music, indicating a sense of liberation from emotional burdens.
Not tormented by your ways, your shackles I have shed
No longer tormented by the person's behavior, having freed oneself from emotional constraints.
Sure I was hurt at first but chose happiness instead
Opting for happiness over initial hurt and choosing to move forward.
And I know you're in somebody else's arms, but hurt can only go so far
Reiteration of the pain caused by the person being with someone else, but emphasizing its limitations.

Sometimes just the way it goes, and I will be alright I'm sure
Reaffirming acceptance of life's natural course and expressing confidence in future well-being (repeated from line 11).
