Better Without You
Breaking Free from Deceit: Silk World's 'Better Without You' Story
Lyrics
No, I don't wanna live like this no more
No desire to continue living in the current state
So tell me if I still exist to you
Questioning the existence of the relationship
If you can't be there when I need you the most
Expressing the need for support during crucial times
I might as well just be in love with a ghost
Feeling like a relationship with no emotional connection, akin to being in love with an absent entity
A ghost
Reiteration of the emotional distance and emptiness
I might as well be in love with a ghost
Continuing the metaphor of being in love with an elusive, intangible presence
A ghost
-I might as well be in love with a ghost
-Might as well be in love with a ghost
-Cause all you do is cheat and lie
Accusing the partner of dishonesty and infidelity
With so many different guys
-You ain't ever gonna be my girl, were you?
Doubting the possibility of a committed relationship
Talking to other dudes
Confronting the partner about talking to other people while claiming commitment
Saying that I was the one
-While there was others on the side
-I can't marry a hoe
Expressing reluctance to commit to someone with questionable morals
Your friends ain't ever gonna like me
Expecting disapproval from the partner's friends due to truth-telling
Cause all I do is call you out on your shit
Confronting the partner about their behavior
Going all in just to see you sin my man
Highlighting the unfairness of the situation and lack of concern from the partner
That shit ain't fair
-You don't care
Emphasizing the partner's indifference and mutual acknowledgment of it
I know it
-You know it
-Why lead me on for way to long
Questioning the purpose of leading the speaker on for an extended period
Calling me your hubby, then calling me your hobby
Noting the inconsistency in the partner's labels and treatment
Maybe Robby will treat you better than he did last time
Suggesting that someone else (Robby) might treat the partner better
Cause I'm done
Declaring the end of the relationship
The tears on your face are faker than Cardi B
Dismissing the authenticity of the partner's tears
You ain't ever gonna be loved by me
Rejecting the idea of loving the partner
I'm done being played by a slut
Expressing frustration and ending the relationship due to being played
You got kicked to the curb for a reason
-It ain't ever gonna be that way again
Asserting that the past situation won't repeat itself
Cause it's been going on for too long
Indicating that the issues have persisted for too long
If you can't be there when I need you
Reiterating the need for support and ending the relationship if not met
Get the fuck outta my life
Expressing a strong desire for the partner to leave
Cause, I'm better alone
Claiming independence and contentment without the partner
You don't want no relationship with a slut like you
Rejecting the idea of a relationship with the partner
You just want a motherfucker to your rent
Accusing the partner of seeking financial benefits
You ain't nothing but a gold digger with some fake tits
Characterizing the partner as a gold digger with artificial features
Don't even try to deny that shit
Challenging the partner to admit their true intentions
You'd let the whole team hit, wouldn't you?
Alleging promiscuity and questioning the partner's loyalty
Man, fuck you
Expressing frustration and dismissal
No, I don't wanna live like this no more
Repetition of the desire to change the current situation
So tell me if I still exist to you
-If you can't be there when I need you the most
-I might as well just be in love with a ghost
-A ghost
Continuation of the metaphorical expression of love for an absent, intangible presence
I might as well be in love with a ghost
-A ghost
-I might as well be in love with a ghost
