Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said boy What you doin what’s your plan b , go to back to school and get your degree, that just don’t sound fun to me, I’ll be gone for awhile I’ll be back soon, if you start to miss me just sing this tune, cuz you won’t be hearing from me

She told me stop with your dreamin, it won’t work out for you, I said I best be leavin, Cuz I do better without you, I’m better without you

Oh I should listen to you I guess I suppose, the girl with fake boobs fake lips a fake nose, a bunch a fake friends you call your main hoes, you hide your fake face behind your fake clothes, don’t need your two cents I’m doin real nice, spend daddy’s money no matter the price, I don’t think I need your advice

She told me stop with your dreamin, it won’t work out for you, I said I best be leavin, Cuz I do better without you, I’m better without you

I told her imma keep dreamin, that’s all I know how to do, I know you ain’t believin, that’s why I’m better without you

She told me stop with your dreamin, it won’t work out for you, I said I best be leavin, Cuz I do better without you, I’m better without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lumé's song "Better Without You" tell a story of a person who is facing opposition from their partner while pursuing their dreams. The partner suggests that they go back to school and get a degree, but the person doesn't find that idea appealing. The partner then belittles their dreams and says that it won't work out for them. The person comes to the realization that they are better off without their partner and their negative attitude towards their aspirations.

The lyrics point out the partner's hypocrisy by calling them out on their fake appearance and fake friends. The person acknowledges that they are doing well without the unsolicited advice and monetary support from their partner. The song ends with the person stating that they will continue to dream, despite their partner's lack of belief in them.

The lyrics convey a message about the importance of pursuing one's dreams and not allowing the negative opinions of others to hold them back. It encourages the listener to believe in themselves and not rely on others for validation.

She said boy What you doin what’s your plan b , go to back to school and get your degree, that just don’t sound fun to me, I’ll be gone for awhile I’ll be back soon, if you start to miss me just sing this tune, cuz you won’t be hearing from me
She asked me about my backup plan, suggested going back to school and getting a degree, but I didn't like her idea. She's leaving for some time and instructed me to sing a song to myself if I miss her because she won't be in touch.

Oh I should listen to you I guess I suppose, the girl with fake boobs fake lips a fake nose, a bunch a fake friends you call your main hoes, you hide your fake face behind your fake clothes, don’t need your two cents I’m doin real nice, spend daddy’s money no matter the price, I don’t think I need your advice
Although I should probably take her advice, I won't because she's a fake person with fake body parts and fake friends. She hides behind her clothes and doesn't need her opinion. She spends a lot of money given by her father and doesn't need her suggestions.

I told her imma keep dreamin, that’s all I know how to do, I know you ain’t believin, that’s why I’m better without you
I told her I'll keep dreaming because it's all I know and I understand that she doesn't believe in me. That's why I'm better off without her.

She told me stop with your dreamin, it won’t work out for you, I said I best be leavin, Cuz I do better without you, I’m better without you
She advised me to give up on my dreams and leave, but I told her I'm better off without her and I will do well on my own.
