Better
MAMAMOO Lyrics

Cosmic!
A declaration to start things off, reflecting the positive energy and attitude of the song.

너와 나 bye bye so
Saying goodbye to a past relationship, but with a positive and empowering attitude about moving forward.

Better than before
Confidence in one's growth and transformation, and feeling better off without an old flame.

너에게 맞춰 왔던 내 모습들 다 yeah yeah
Realizing that past attempts to change oneself for the sake of compatibility with an ex-lover were not worth sacrificing one's true identity and values; a reassuring self-affirmation.

사실 내 타입은 아냐 no no, yeah yeah
Acknowledging that one's ex was not really the right match, despite previous efforts to play a role to fit in with them; an honest admission of personal growth and honesty.

함께 했던 날들
Reminiscing about shared moments with the ex.

봄 여름 가을 겨울이
The passing of time with the ex.

전부 널 위했던 거야
Realizing that being someone they are not just to please an ex was a futile effort.

항상 넌 그저 네 마음에 들게
Feeling that the ex never really appreciated or cared for them as they truly are.

날 바꿔 놓은 채
Realizing that the ex's influence changed them into someone they were not happy being.

마치 사랑인걸로 느끼게
Feeling deceived about what love should feel like, based on the ex's manipulative behavior.

난 네 말에 취해 (네 말에 취해)
Feeling taken in by the ex's words, despite their behavior not being loving or respectful.

감추고 맞추고 그땐 왜 그랬을까
Questioning why they felt the need to hide their true self and cater to the ex's wants when it wasn't what they really wanted.

지금이 난 더 좋아 uh
Feeling satisfied with their current state of moving on and growing past their relationship with the ex.

내 모습 그대로가
Feeling content with being themselves, and not someone they thought they had to be for the ex's sake.

솔직한 내 맘 never never mind
Expressing that they do not mind being true to themselves and keeping an open heart, regardless of others' opinions of them.

너 없이도 fine
Knowing that they are still okay and can thrive without the ex in their life.

I am feeling better
Reinforcing the positive and confident attitude of the song, with a focus on self-affirmation and growth.

이젠 so much better
A continuation of the positive sentiment, emphasizing how much better they are now without the ex.

Without you babe
Acknowledging the ex's absence, but being okay with it and moving forward.

혼자가 나아 두 배로
Feeling that being alone fosters self-awareness and growth, and not taking a new relationship too quickly.

걱정 마 go away (don't, stop, don't)
Encouraging someone not to worry about them, and to instead focus on their own happiness and well-being.

감정낭비 필요했었지
Admitting that they wasted time and energy investing emotion into a relationship that was not a good match for them.

집에 오면 항상 왠지
Feeling a sense of apprehension and discomfort coming home to the ex.

전화기를 꺼두고 싶어
Being apprehensive and wanting to avoid contact with the ex.

이때 다 싶어
Realizing that this relationship was not thriving or healthy.

"잘자" 마무리 지어 뚜뚝
Ending communications on a polite note, but feeling relieved about ending the conversation.

그냥 난 사랑이란 말로
Misunderstanding what love truly is, and thinking they had to suffer through bad relationships to find something worth fighting for.

숨으면 외롭지 않을 거라 생각했어
Thinking that love is a mental state, instead of a connection with someone else that brings happiness.

멍청이처럼
Feeling embarrassed and foolish about past attempts to force themselves to find love where it wasn't a good fit.

난 너에게 취해 (너에게 취해) yeah
Realizing that they were too attached to the ex in the past, but now recognizes that it was wrong.

지금이 난 더 좋아 uh

내 모습 그대로가

너 없이도 fine
Feeling like they don't need the ex in their life to be okay and thrive.

함께하면 할수록
The idea that the more time spent together, the more one's true self should shine through, not the opposite.

더 나다워질 수 있게 되는 게
Believing that sound relationships are built on being true to oneself, leading to a more authentic and better relationship.

그게 진짜가 아닐까
Contemplating how relationships should be built on mutual appreciation and respect, not forcing oneself into a mold for someone else's sake.

뭐 특별하지 않아도
Feeling like one does not have to be special to be themselves, and how simplicity can be much more refreshing and effective.

내 모습대로 있는 그대로
Having an accepting view of oneself, and believing that mutual respect is key to a healthy relationship.

I am feeling better (I'm feeling better)
A continued message of progress and positive mindset following the end of a bad relationship.

걱정 마 go away
Encouraging someone not to worry about them or focus on their past, and instead direct their energy towards self-growth.
