Better
Julie Anne San Jose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should be careful around you
Some people didn′t like you
You said nobody's to blame for the situation
But I said you want me
You′re my sweetest addiction
My friends would warn me
Had a bad intuition
Ooohh
I didn't give a damn about it
Ooohh
I would be the one to save you
Better, better, better, hey
Better, better told them that you were better
Better, better, better, hey
Better, better, better for me
I was yours for the taking
But you're manipulating
In a moment of weakness
I still find myself kissing you
You′d say that you′re different
From the others I was with
You say that you love me
But you purposely hurt me
Ooohh
Baby this could be our downfall
Ooohh
I know without you I will be
Better, better, better, hey
Better, better, told them that you were better
Better, better, better, hey
Better, better, better for me
I'ma be off your circus
And your bed of roses
Used to being used
Tryna play the fool
′Cause I thought I was the only one
The only one
Treated me like I was just for fun
That wasn't fun
While you out there vibin′
All the girls you're tryin′
Tryna fool around with
No I didn't deserve this
I wish you all the best
'Cause this is good bye
I′m movin′ on without you
Better, better, better, hey
Better, better, told them that you were better
Better, better, better, hey
Better, better, boy you know I'll be better
Better, better, better, hey
Better, better, told them that you were better
Better, better, better, hey
Better, better, told them that you were better
In "Better", Julie Anne San Jose tells the story of a tumultuous relationship that isn't good for her.

She finally decides to break free from this toxic relationship and move on, knowing that she deserves better than someone who treats her like she's just for fun.
The song's lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a toxic relationship or felt trapped in an unhealthy dynamic.
