Better Together
Fifth Harmony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we were together
We were just strangers
I was just playing around
So I didn't wanna work it out
No, I didn't wanna work it out

Thought something was missing
We were too different
Baby I'm a-looking back now
And I really should've worked it out
Yeah, I really should've worked it out

Because now that you're gone and I sleep alone
I can't help it, I want you back 'cause I

Boy I miss you, said I really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
Boy I miss you, said I really really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together

We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together

I'm watching you with her, thinking I had you
How was I ever so dumb?
Boy I should've known that you're the one
Boy I should've known that you're the one

So, if it's not too late,
I just wanna know babe
And tell me ever we could still run
'Cause I finally know that you're the one
Yeah, I really know that you're the one

Because now that you're gone and I sleep alone
I can't help it, I want you back 'cause I

Boy I miss you, said I really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
Boy I miss you, said I really really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together

We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together

And now that you're gone and I sleep alone
I can't help it, I want you back 'cause I

We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together

Boy I miss you, said I really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
Boy I miss you, said I really really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together

We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together




We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fifth Harmony's song Better Together are about a past relationship that ended, and the regret and longing that comes with it. The song starts with the confession that when they were together, they were strangers and the singer didn't want to work things out despite feeling like something was missing. The singer admits that they were too different, but now they realise that they should have tried harder to find common ground. The chorus expresses the singer's feelings of missing the person they were with, and the belief that they are better together, while the repetition of "we're better" emphasises the point.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on the mistakes they made in the past, watching the other person move on and wondering how they could have been so dumb to let them go. The singer now knows that the person they were with was the one for them, and they want to know if it's not too late to try again. The chorus repeats again, emphasising the idea that they are better together and expressing their longing to be with the other person again.


The lyrics of Better Together express a common feeling of regret and longing for a past love. The repetition of "we're better" reinforces the idea that two people can be stronger together than apart, and the song ultimately expresses a hope for reconciliation.

5H is gone....

They were the people I kept myself alive for
They were the people I smiled because
They were the people I laughed because
They were the people I lived for

Now, they are the people I cry for

Tears hurt the worst when you can't tell if they're happy or sad... you love the memories but you're sad they didn't last
