Boslyk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're losing
You're losing and I'm moving on
You know that it's over
You know that I'm better off, off
I don't need your love now
I don't need you
I don't need you
You know I tried
Stayed by your side
Just to find
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
I don't need you
(You're not the one, You're not the one)
You turned away while I faced the pain
Can't face your demons you're just a runaway
I don't need your love now
I don't need your time now
I don't need you
I don't need you
You know I tried
Stayed by your side
Just to find
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one
I don't need you
In Boslyk's song Better Off, the lyrics describe the aftermath of a relationship that has come to an end. The repetition of "You're not the one" emphasizes the realization of the singer that they were not meant to be with their partner. The opening lines "You're proving, You're losing" could be interpreted as the other person's behavior causing the breakup, as they are the one losing the singer's love and attention. The chorus highlights how the singer has moved on and does not need their former partner's love or time. The lines "You know that it's over, You know that I'm better off, off" further emphasize that the singer has come to terms with the end of the relationship and is now better off without their partner.
The second verse adds more insight into the dynamics of the relationship, with the line "You turned away while I faced the pain, Can't face your demons, you're just a runaway" implying that the other person was unable to confront their own problems and instead chose to leave the relationship. Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes that they tried everything to make the relationship work, but ultimately realized that they were not meant to be together.
Overall, Boslyk's Better Off is a powerful breakup anthem that highlights the importance of knowing when to let go of a relationship that is not working out.
