Better Off
Go-Jo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The nights you never came home
I guess I didn't read the signs?
Your ring wasn't always on
You didn't think that I would know but hey
Who's the fool right now?
You fucked a friend for his own revenge
Now, you want me back?
I'll be running for miles up mountains high to get away from you
Leaving you was hard then realised anythings better than you
I've wasted all this time on you
But I'm glad you ain't coming back
Love is hurt, it hurts to learn
To stay away from girls like that
You didn't think that I would know but hey
Who's the fool right now?
You fucked a friend for his own revenge
And you want me back?
No way
I'll be running for miles up mountains high to get away from you
Leaving you was hard then realised anythings better than you
I tried to keep us together
But you weren't in it forever
If I could change one thing in life
It'd be the day we met
You fucked a friend for his own revenge
Now, you want me back?
No way
I'll be running for miles up mountains high to get away from you
Leaving you was hard then realised anythings better than you
I'm better off now
I'm better off without you
I'm better off now
I'm better off now
The song "Better Off" by Go-Jo talks about a failed relationship and the aftermath of the breakup. The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner cheated on him with a friend and now wants to reconcile, but the singer won't have it. He expresses his hurt and anger over the betrayal but takes a stance of moving on and being better off without the person. The lyrics also reveal that the singer tried to make the relationship work but ultimately realized that leaving was the best decision.
The line "Love is hurt, it hurts to learn, to stay away from girls like that" is particularly interesting as it highlights the singer's past experiences in relationships where he has been hurt and is now more cautious. He seems to have learned that some people may not have the best intentions, and he must be careful in choosing who he lets into his life.
