Better Off Without You
Becky Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought my world was crumbling
When I woke up and you weren't in my bed
And I was left here wondering how
You could walk away and never turn back

Tried to right all your wrongs
I never thought that I'd be lost
But I found the truth
I was searching for me in you

Now I'm better off without you
And it's finally clear to see
That the person I was missing
It's not you, it's me

Now I'm better off without you
And I've never felt so free
'Cause the person I was missing
It's not you, it's me

I tried so hard to please you
But nothing that I did would work
Oh, and all the things that we've been through
Now it's time to start putting me first

Tried to right all your wrongs
I never thought that I'd be lost
But I found the truth
I was searching for me in you

Now I'm better off without you
And it's finally clear to see
That the person I was missing
It's not you, it's me

Now I'm better off without you
And I've never felt so free
'Cause the person I was missing
It's not you, it's me

Better off, better off
Better off without you
Better off, better off
Better off without you

I thought my world was crumbling
When I woke up and you weren't in my bed
And I was left here wondering how
You could walk away and never turn back

Now I'm better off without you
And I've never felt so free
'Cause the person I was missing
It's not you, it's me

Better off, better off
Better off without you




Better off, better off
Better off without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Becky Hill’s song, “Better Off Without You”, talks about a relationship that is no longer serving her needs. She mentions how she felt like her world was crumbling when she woke up and her partner was no longer there. It appears that she was trying to fix things in their relationship, but nothing seemed to work. Eventually, she came to the realization that the person she was missing was herself, not her partner. The song suggests that sometimes, being alone can be better than being in a relationship that isn't right for you. The line, “Tried to right all your wrongs, I never thought that I’d be lost, but I found the truth, I was searching for me in you” suggest that she was trying to find herself in her partner's expectations, and now she knows that it wasn't the right thing for her.


The song has a powerful message that focuses on self-love and self-care. It is incredibly important to know that sometimes, it’s better to leave a relationship that isn’t serving us, rather than trying to fix it constantly. By acknowledging her own needs and desires, despite being in a relationship, she has become a stronger and more independent woman. Hence the lyrics,“Now I'm better off without you, And I've never felt so free”.
