Jamie Winchester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pain in the light of the day
Lies in your eyes when
you'll stalling
Gonna be ok
No one can show you what I did
Take you through the stars in the rain
opened
You'll never feel again
Don't you know I'm better than him
But I can see you've
been lonely without me
Can't you see he's nothing like me
Cos I can see
you've been lonely
While you were sleeping in my bed
Holding me like I was your man
Someone else was playing in your head
I never understand
Don't you know I'm better then him
Cos I can see you've
been lonely without me
Can't you see
he's nothing like me
Or is this just what I wanted to believe
There is the smile here waiting for you
Cos I can see you've
been lonely
So maybe
I'll decide
Just let you run and hide
Then you could look of his face in the morning
I hope you're
happy now
You sacrificial cow
Cos I'm not going to wait for you
Don't you know I'm better then him
But I can see you've been lonely without me
Can't you see he's nothing like
me
Or is this just what I wanted to believe
There is the smile here waiting for you
And I know you'll do what you must do
Don't you know I'm better than him
Cos I can see you've been lonely
The song "Better" by Jamie Winchester expresses the pain and heartbreak of a former lover who sees his ex-partner moving on with someone new. The opening lines "Tears when we rise in the morning, pain in the light of the day" show the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through every day. He can see his ex-partner moving on, but he can also see the pain and loneliness in her eyes. The line "Lies in your eyes when you're stalling, gonna be okay," shows that she is trying to convince herself that she is fine without him.
The song's lyrics suggest that the singer believes that he is better than the new man in his ex-partner's life. The line "Don't you know I'm better than him" is repeated throughout the song. He also highlights the fact that he sees the difference in their characters when he says, "Can't you see he's nothing like me." He is trying to convince his partner that he is the one for her and that she has made a mistake by leaving him.
The final part of the song sees the singer making the difficult decision to move on from his ex-partner. He implies that he has found a new love interest and doesn't want to wait for his ex-partner to make up her mind. He says, "Then you could look of his face in the morning, I hope you're happy now, you sacrificial cow, 'cause I'm not going to wait for you." He acknowledges that she might eventually come back to him, but he knows that he is better than her current partner and that there is a smile waiting for her if she leaves him.
