On My Own
Don Vedda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Better off, better off
Better off on my own
How many nights have we ended in a fight
I'm sick of all these games girl, don't waste my time
Back and forth through the door
No, I can't do this tug of war any more
I'm losing my grip
Because I think I'm better
I'm better off on my own
Leave, leave
I'm better off on my own
Leave, just leave me alone
(Oh)
Don't apologise, I've made up my mind
So you go your way baby, and I'll go mine
Back and forth through the door
No, I can't do this tug of war any more
I'm losing my grip
But I've got to let you go
Because I think I'm better
I'm better off on my own
Leave, leave
I'm better off on my own
Leave, just leave me alone
I'm better off on my own
Leave, leave
I'm better off on my own (oh babe)
Leave, just leave me alone
I'm better off on my own
No, I can't do this
I'm losing my grip
(...)
But I've got to let you go
Because I think I'm better
I'm better off on my, I'm better off on my own
Leave, leave
I'm better off on my own
Leave, just leave me alone
I'm better off on my own
Leave, leave
I'm better off on my own
Leave, just leave me alone
I'm better off on my own
I'm better off on my own
I'm better off, better off
I'm better off on my own
The lyrics to Don Vedda's "On My Own" are about the singer's decision to end a relationship that has become toxic and exhausting. The song begins with him contemplating how many fights have ended in sleepless nights, and how he's tired of playing games with his partner. He realizes that he can no longer handle the constant back and forth, so he's decided to end the relationship and be "better off on [his] own."
The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the freedom that he will gain by leaving the relationship behind. He's firm in his decision, telling his partner not to apologize and that he's made up his mind. He asserts that he needs to let go of the relationship, even though it's difficult, because he knows that he's better off alone.
The lyrics capture the struggle of leaving a toxic relationship, but also the hopefulness that comes with making a difficult decision for one's own well-being. It's a message of self-empowerment and self-love, reminding the listener that it's sometimes necessary to let go of things that no longer serve us.
