Better Off
SFW Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don’t think I deserve this
What’s your problem?
Feeling so rejected
Cuz you left me disrespected
Yeah you got one
Cuz you never looked at me like that
And here I thought that you were so genuine
I don’t wanna lose it
But you make me feel so stupid
And I’m angry
It may be accidental
But you’re getting sentimental
Just to hang me
Baby I’m better off
Jaded than double-crossed
If you walk away everything will be just fine
Help me up, Help me up, baby, I’m fallin’
Help me up, Help me up baby
I don’t wanna waste my time
Maybe I just need to remember
How you threw my heart in a running blender
Do you really think I’d be better off this time?
Maybe I’ll start laughing
When I think about what happened
But I’m hurtin’
You want a revival
But I’m fighting for survival
Not a dead end
I’m not just being defensive
And I won’t come to my senses
You don’t wanna love me you just wanna leave me cryin’
Help me up, Help me up, baby, I’m fallin’
Help me up, Help me up baby
I don’t wanna lose my mind
Maybe I just need to remember
How you threw my heart in a running blender
Do you really think I’ll be better off this time?
The lyrics of SFW's song "Better Off" delve into themes of heartbreak, self-worth, and the struggle to move on from a toxic relationship. In the opening lines, the singer acknowledges their imperfections but questions why they deserve to be treated poorly. There is a sense of feeling rejected and disrespected by their partner.
The chorus expresses the singer's sentiment of being better off feeling jaded than being betrayed. They believe that if their partner were to walk away, everything would ultimately be fine. The plea for help and the acknowledgment of falling indicate the emotional toll the relationship has taken on the singer.
The second verse further emphasizes the pain and hurt caused by the partner's actions. The singer sarcastically mentions that they might start laughing when thinking about what happened, but the truth is that they are hurting deeply. There is a desire for survival rather than staying stuck in a dead-end situation.
The bridge addresses the partner's attempt at a revival, but the singer understands that it is merely manipulative. They refuse to accept the blame or come to their senses because they recognize that their partner does not genuinely love them but wants to leave them in tears.

Maybe I’m not perfect
I acknowledge that I have flaws
But I don’t think I deserve this
I don't believe I deserve to be treated this way
What’s your problem?
I'm curious about why you're behaving this way
Feeling so rejected
I feel hurt and unwanted
Cuz you left me disrespected
Because you treated me with disrespect
Yeah you got one
You earned yourself a problem
I know you don’t feel so bad
I understand that you don't feel remorseful
Cuz you never looked at me like that
Because you never regarded me in that way
And here I thought that you were so genuine
I believed that you were truly authentic
I don’t wanna lose it
I don't want to lose control of my emotions
But you make me feel so stupid
You make me feel foolish
And I’m angry
I'm filled with anger
It may be accidental
Perhaps it's unintentional
But you’re getting sentimental
Yet you're becoming sentimental
Just to hang me
Just to emotionally harm me
Baby I’m better off
Darling, I'm in a better position
Jaded than double-crossed
Rather be emotionally worn out than betrayed
If you walk away everything will be just fine
If you choose to leave, everything will be alright
Help me up, Help me up, baby, I’m fallin’
Assist me, assist me, my dear, I'm losing control
Help me up, Help me up baby
Help me recover, help me, my dear
I don’t wanna waste my time
I don't want to spend my time in vain
Maybe I just need to remember
Perhaps I should recall
How you threw my heart in a running blender
How you shattered my heart into pieces
Do you really think I’d be better off this time?
Do you genuinely believe I would be in a better situation now?
Maybe I’ll start laughing
Perhaps I'll begin to laugh
When I think about what happened
When I reflect on what occurred
But I’m hurtin’
However, I'm in pain
You want a revival
You desire a fresh start
But I’m fighting for survival
Yet I'm struggling to survive
Not a dead end
Not a dead-end situation
I’m not just being defensive
I'm not only defending myself
And I won’t come to my senses
And I refuse to regain my composure
You don’t wanna love me you just wanna leave me cryin’
You don't want to love me, you simply want to make me cry
Help me up, Help me up, baby, I’m fallin’
Assist me, assist me, my dear, I'm losing control
Help me up, Help me up baby
Help me recover, help me, my dear
I don’t wanna lose my mind
I don't want to lose my sanity
Maybe I just need to remember
Perhaps I should recall
How you threw my heart in a running blender
How you shattered my heart into pieces
Do you really think I’ll be better off this time?
Do you genuinely believe I would be in a better situation now?
