The Less I Know the Better
Love's Turmoil: A Tale of Heartbreak and Hope
Lyrics
Someone said they left together
Someone mentions that two people left together.
I ran out the door to get her
The narrator rushes out to find the person mentioned in line 1.
She was holding hands with Trevor

Said, "Pull yourself together
Advice to regain composure and move on.
You should try your luck with Heather"
Suggests trying a romantic connection with someone named Heather.
Then I heard they slept together
Heard rumors that the person and Trevor had a sexual encounter.
Oh, the less I know the better

The less I know the better
Emphasizes the preference for not knowing the details of the situation.
Oh, my love, can't you see yourself by my side?
The narrator expresses love and desire for the person.
No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night
No surprise that the person is frequently with someone else.
Oh, my love, can't you see that you're on my mind?
The person is always on the narrator's mind.
Don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind?
Asks if the person can influence her lover to change their mind.
So goodbye
Signals the end of the relationship.
She said, "It's not now or never
The person suggests there's still time for them to be together.
Wait ten years, we'll be together"
Specifies a potential timeframe for their reunion.
I said, "Better late than never
The narrator is willing to wait, but not indefinitely.
Just don't make me wait forever"
Expresses the desire for the person not to make the narrator wait forever.
Don't make me wait forever
Reiteration of the plea not to make the narrator wait indefinitely.
Don't make me wait forever

I was doin' fine without you
The narrator was doing well without the person until seeing their face.
'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase
The impact of seeing the person's face is profound and cannot be forgotten.
Givin' in to all his bullshit
Yielding to the difficulties caused by the person's relationship with someone else.
Is this what you want? is this who you are?
Questioning if this is what the person truly wants and who they are.
I was doin' fine without you
The narrator was doing fine until the person looked away.
'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine
The moment the person averts their eyes, it becomes challenging for the narrator.
Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you
