Better Not
Louis The Child Wafia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's hard to admit it that you found love
It's hard to stay in it, but he's better
Than anyone I've seen you with before
So talk to me, tell me 'bout all your insecurities
And I'm tryna make you see what I see
You're happier than I've ever seen you

It's true love, don't fake it
You better not, you better not
It's right here, don't waste it
You better not, you better not
Don't say you can't figure it out, figure it out
I know you can figure it out, figure it out
It's true love, don't waste it
You better not, you better not

You better not

Don't overthink it
Let it go and try to trust the feeling
You know it in your gut you're healing
From every time that you've been hurt before
I see it, I see it

It's true love, don't fake it
You better not, you better not
It's right here, don't waste it
You better not, you better not
Don't say you can't figure it out, figure it out
I know you can figure it out, figure it out
It's true love, don't waste it
You better not, you better not

You better not
You better not

I know you can figure it out, figure it out
It's true love, don't waste it
Don't say you can't figure it out, figure it out
You better not, you better not

You better not
You better not

It's true love, don't fake it
You better not, you better not
It's right here, don't waste it
You better, you better not

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Better Not" by Louis The Child presents a person trying to convince someone they like to not let go of their current relationship because it's rare to find true love. The first verse indicates that the singer acknowledges it's difficult for the person to admit that they found love, and although it's tough, they should hold on to it because the person they're with is exceptional. The singer wants the person to open up to them about their insecurities so that they can help them recognize that they're happier now than they've ever been.


The chorus is a warning to the person to not take the relationship for granted. The singer is trying to stress the importance of true love, how they should not fake it or waste it, and that they know that they can figure it out. The second verse, on the other hand, is a reassurance to the person, that they don't have to overthink anything. They need to trust their gut feelings because they know they're getting healed from previous relationships that hurt them. The chorus then repeats, once again telling the person to cherish the true love they have found and to not waste it.
