Lyrics

And all those things you said to me

Reflecting on past words spoken to the speaker

Made me fall straight down to my knees

Expressing emotional impact, feeling brought to knees

You said it all you said it often

Acknowledging frequent repetition of hurtful words

About how I wasn't anything

Being told that the speaker was insignificant


Now I'm feeling better without you

Claiming improved well-being after separation

My mind could fill up the whole room

Feeling mentally liberated and expansive

Cause all the doubts you put in my head

Referencing doubts instilled by the other person

My head

Emphasizing the impact on the speaker's mind


And I know that I'm better without you

Affirming personal growth and strength without the person

Gets hard when I'm overwhelmed and

Admitting challenges in coping with overwhelming feelings

Can't get over the way that you chose him

Struggling to accept the choice of a new romantic partner


And I know that I'm better without you

Reiterating the positive change without the person

Gets hard when I'm overwhelmed and

Repeating the difficulty in overcoming emotions

Can't get over the way that you chose him

Reiterating the challenge of accepting the new partner


Darkness over light

Contrasting darkness with light, indicating emotional turmoil

You broke it for the thousandth time

Highlighting repeated emotional breaking points

But I could never warn you

Expressing an inability to warn the other person


For what was coming toward you

Referring to an impending negative situation

I could never afford to

Stating financial inability to prevent the situation

That's why I never told you but you ran away

Explaining why the speaker didn't disclose the information

You ran away

Repeating the act of running away


These problems they haunt us

Labeling persistent issues as haunting

It's often cuz I'm not the running type

Linking problems to the speaker's non-confrontational nature


And I'm toxic

Acknowledging own toxic traits as a possible cause

That's probably why you went and left my life

Connecting toxicity to the other person leaving


And I know that I'm better without you

Reaffirming personal growth and well-being

Gets hard when I'm overwhelmed and

Restating the difficulty in managing overwhelming emotions

Can't get over the way that you chose him

Reiterating the struggle with the choice of a new partner


Darkness over light

Repeating the contrast between darkness and light

You broke it for the thousandth time

Reiterating emotional breaking points

But I could never warn you

Expressing an inability to warn the other person


Now I know that I'm better without you

Confidently asserting improved well-being without the person

Gets hard when I'm overwhelmed and

Reiterating the ongoing struggle with overwhelming feelings

Can't get over the way that you chose him

Repeating the challenge of accepting the new partner


And I know that I'm better without you

Reaffirming personal growth and strength without the person

Gets hard when I'm overwhelmed and

Reiterating the ongoing difficulty in managing overwhelming emotions

Can't get over the way that you chose him

Repeating the struggle with the choice of a new partner
