Better When You're Not There
Embracing Solitude: Unveiling the Emotions Behind 'Better When You're Not There'
Lyrics
It's good to see your face in the morning
Seeing your face in the morning brings some comfort and strength to start the day.
It helps me to face the day
Your presence helps me to confront and manage the challenges of the day.
I see you lighting candles
Observing you lighting candles, possibly engaging in a ritual, as I choose to turn away or distance myself.
As I turn away
Despite your actions, I decide to create some distance.
I want you, I need you in a way that confuses me but
I have conflicting emotions about needing and wanting you.
it's good to hold you
Despite the confusion, it feels good to embrace you.
but it's better when you're not there
However, paradoxically, things feel even better when you're not physically present.
it's better when you're not there
Reiterating the sentiment that it's preferable when you're absent.
it's better when I don't care about the things you say in the world's worst way
It's easier to cope when I disconnect from caring about your negative words or actions.
It's better when you're not there
Reaffirming the preference for your absence despite these conflicting emotions.
But somehow it waits till the morning
Despite the conflicting emotions, there's a delay in these feelings until the morning.
I feel your eyes on me
I sense your gaze on me, creating a profound moment.
It's a such a perfect moment
This moment feels perfect and almost liberating.
It almost sets me free
I wanted to keep you holding in while you're pulling away
Desire to hold onto you while recognizing your desire to pull away.
It's good to know you but it's better when you're not there
It's comforting to understand you, but still better when you're absent.
it's better when you're not there
Repeating the sentiment that your absence is preferred.
it's better when I don't care about the things you say in the world's worst way
It's easier when I detach myself from caring about your hurtful words or actions.
It's better when you're not there
Expressing the preference for your absence despite these feelings.
It's better when you're not there
Reaffirming the sentiment that your absence is preferred.
It's good to see your face in the picture
Seeing your face in a picture evokes a strong sense of missing you.
It's amazing what I miss
It's astonishing how much I long for your presence.
It's always right in the moment
Emphasizing that your impact is always felt strongly in the moment, especially influenced by our physical intimacy.
when you're colored by your kiss
I wanted to tell you there are times when I think of your face
There are moments when I think of you and your face crosses my mind.
It's good to know you
Understanding you is appreciated, but it's still better when you're absent.
but it's better you're not there
Reiterating the sentiment that your absence is preferable.
it's better when you're not there
Emphasizing the preference for your absence, especially to avoid caring about your negative words or actions.
it's better when I don't care about the things you say in the worlds worst way
Reaffirming the preference for your absence despite these complex emotions.
It's better when you're not there
Stating again the preference for your absence.
It's better when you're not there
Reiterating the preference for your absence, echoing the title.
