Better Left Unsaid
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need ya, I'll be alright"
But some things are better left unsaid (said)
To tell the truth, it hit me hard
A broken heart is all I have now, but
Some things are better left unsaid (said)
And I swore that I would never say
But some things are better left unsaid
Are better left unsaid
Said
Said
Oh, oh
Oh-whoa-ooh, oh
I'm gonna say a thing
Like, "Shut up and kiss me"
Oh-ooh-whoa, oh
Tonight I'm gonna do some things
Don't blame me, just kiss me
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up, put your hands up
Don't blame me, just kiss me
Oh-ooh-whoa, oh
Tonight, don't say a thing
Don't blame me, just kiss me, babe
I could tell a lie, blame tonight
Too many drinks
So many reasons that
Some things are better left unsaid (said)
And I swore that I would never say
I miss you more every day
But some things are better left unsaid
Are better left unsaid
Said
Said
Oh, oh
Oh-whoa-ooh, oh
I'm gonna say a thing
Like, "Shut up and kiss me"
Oh-ooh-whoa, oh
Tonight I'm gonna do some things
Don't blame me, just kiss me
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up, put your hands up
Don't blame me, just kiss me
Oh-ooh-whoa, oh
Tonight, don't say a thing
Don't blame me, just kiss me, babe
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up, put your hands up
Don't blame me, just kiss me
Oh-ooh-whoa, oh
Tonight, don't say a thing
Don't blame me, just kiss me, babe
Oh-whoa, oh (if you wanna party, put your hands up)
(Put your hands up)
Oh-whoa, oh (if you wanna party, put your hands up)
(Put your hands up)
Oh-whoa, oh (if you wanna party, put your hands up)
(Put your hands up)
Oh-whoa, oh, oh-whoa, oh
I could tell a lie, blame tonight
Too many drinks
So many reasons that
Some things are better left unsaid (said)
The lyrics of "Better Left Unsaid" by Ariana Grande deal with the aftermath of a relationship that has ended. In the first verse, she suggests that she told her ex-partner to leave her alone because she doesn't need them anymore. However, she goes on to acknowledge that there are things, even painful things, that are better left unsaid. The next verse reveals that she still misses her ex-partner and has a broken heart. Again, she acknowledges that some things are better left unsaid.
The chorus repeats the message of the song - some things are better left unsaid. However, the bridge switches gears slightly, addressing a potential new flame. Ariana sings about wanting to be kissed, not played, and repeats the phrases "put your hands up" and "don't play me just kiss me." The final verse returns to a reference to the ex-partner, suggesting that there were lies and too many reasons why some things are better left unsaid.
Overall, the song appears to be a warning against saying too much in relationships. Sometimes it's better to keep things unsaid, rather than put everything out in the open and risk causing more pain than necessary.
Line by Line Meaning
I told you once, "Get out my life
I previously asked you to leave my life
I don't need ya, I'll be alright"
I don't need you and I'll be fine without you
But some things are better left unsaid (said said)
It's better to keep some things to ourselves
So tell the truth, and hit me hard
Please be honest and straightforward with me
A broken heart is all I have now, but
I am currently heartbroken
Some things are better left unsaid (said said)
Again, it's best to not say everything that's on our minds
And I swore that I would never say
I promised myself I would never admit
I miss you more every day
I think about you constantly and miss you more with each day
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
I'm gonna say please
?
I have a request, but I'm not sure how to phrase it
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna loose
Don't play me just kiss me
I plan on letting loose tonight, so don't mess around with me and just give me a kiss
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't play me just kiss me
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'll say
Don't play me just kiss me, babe
Let's enjoy the party and have fun, but don't lead me on - just kiss me if that's what you want
You tell a lie, plan tonight
Too many drinks
So many reasons that some things are better left unsaid
You're already planning to deceive me tonight, and with alcohol involved, it's better to not say anything at all
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't play me just kiss me
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'll say
Don't play me just kiss me, babe
Once again, let's have a good time, but don't toy with my feelings - just kiss me if that's what you want
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Let's get the party started
You tell a lie
Plan tonight
Too many drinks
So many reasons that some things are better left unsaid
Again, lying is not a good idea, especially with drinks involved
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't play me just kiss me
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'll say
Don't play me just kiss me babe
I'm only interested in a genuine connection, so don't try to manipulate or deceive me - if you want to kiss me, go ahead and do it properly
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up
One more time, let's start the party!

on Love Me Harder
Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain
And if in the moment, I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me, I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain
And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning, you know it's real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I'll make it feel like the first time
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (love me, baby, love me)
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (you gotta love me harder)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
You got to try, try, try again, yeah (whoa)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you, love you, love)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Got to love me, baby)
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder, hey)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
(Boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)
Love me, love me, love me
(Just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
Harder, harder, harder
