Better Off
Minshik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been away, I'm sorry
Not like you really care

The same friends keep on calling
But they don't really care about me

So tell me, why'd you leave?
You took a part of me and now I'll never be

The same without you and that's my problem
My friends wish that I'd call them
But I don't wanna get involved and
I'd rather be off without them
I'm all yours

Better off without them
Better off without them

Wish you here, where you go?
I don't know (I don't know)
All my friends, they don't know me like you do
I don't got time for them
I just need you again
So come back to me cause right now I'm not

The same without you and that's my problem
My friends wish that I'd call them
But I don't wanna get involved and
I'd rather be off without them
I'm all yours





Better off without them
Better off without them

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Minshik's "Better off" describe the singer's internal battle with the aftermath of a breakup. He admits to his absence and apologizes but confesses that the person he is speaking to (likely an ex-lover) probably doesn't care anyways. His old friends continue reaching out to him but it seems like they don't truly care about him, and he wonders why was he left with only a part of himself after the relationship ended.


Minshik acknowledges his friends' desire for him to reconnect, but he's not ready to involve himself in their lives. He believes that he's better off without them and that they won't understand him like his past love. The singer reveals that he's willing to let go of his friends to be with the person he desires. He misses them and feels like he's not the same without them.


The song's message resonates with anyone who's had to deal with a breakup. The lyrics eloquently describe the feeling of loneliness and the longing to be with someone who understands you while trying to navigate through the pain. Minshik's voice and delivery give the song an emotive depth that carries the listener through the narrative.
