Better Off
PLVTINUM Lyrics

Possessive, I get the message bitch
I understand that you want to remain separate, even though I still feel attached to you.

You carved your name into my bike
You left a permanent mark on me, even though you are no longer present in my life.

It's excessive, maxed my card on necklaces
I overspent on expensive jewelry to impress you, but you never appreciated my efforts.

You never wear the ones I like
You don't show appreciation for the things I do for you, and I feel unappreciated.

I'm at your old apartment
I am trying to find a way to stay connected to you, even though you are no longer in my life.

Looking for a reason to stay in town
I am trying to justify staying in the same place as you, even though it may not be practical.

A white straight jacket to hold me tightly
I feel trapped and unable to move on from our relationship.

Cause I know that you won't stick around
I am aware that we cannot continue our relationship, but it is still hard to let go.

Baby I know you know
I am aware that we both understand that we are better off without each other.

We are better off without each other
Both of us would be happier apart than together in our current relationship.

You could hang more with your brother
You should focus on spending more time with your family rather than with me.

I should see my friends
I need to focus on spending time with my friends and building a support system outside of our relationship.

And the memories are rusted golden
I have fond memories of our time together, but they are tarnished by the way our relationship ended.

Rose colored and twisted, folded
My memories are only a fraction of the full story and are distorted by my own biases and emotions.

I′ll just pretend I′m better off
I am trying to convince myself that I am better off without you, even if I still have feelings for you.

No answer, missed my call again
You are purposefully avoiding me and not responding to my attempts to connect with you.

It got so normal not to speak, Lord
We have reached a point where not speaking to each other has become the new norm and is no longer shocking to me.

But you′re answering any other man
You are responding to other people, but not to me, which makes me feel replaced and hurt.

That insta-praises your physique
You are seeking validation from others and using your physical appearance to get it.

Know we′re wasting time
I am aware that trying to hold on to our relationship is wasting both of our time.

But you're on my mind
Even though I know we should move on, I can't stop thinking about you.

And I booked a flight to L.A.
I am trying to take action to reconnect with you, even if it means traveling to see you.

Cause I had to see you
I feel a strong need to be with you, even though I know it may not be healthy.

Tryna press rewind
I wish we could go back in time and undo the things that led to our breakup.

That you’d never leave me
I need reassurance from you that our relationship is not completely over and that you still care for me.

Even if you're lying
I would rather believe that you still have feelings for me, even if I know it's not true.

I think I'm better off
Even though I still care for you, I am starting to realize that it would be better for both of us to move on.
