Better
SG Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know there's something right
Right in between us
I see you standing there
Want you to just trust
You make it hard for me
So hard not to stare
I'm moving closer baby
Why don't you seem to care?

All my life, thinking about all these times
Wanted someone like you
Hold me tight, but treat me right
All my life, needing someone to get by
What if I had it right from the very first time?

I want it better
I want it better
I want it better
I want it better for you

I know it isn't right
You creep into the night
Maybe you want a friend
Maybe not in this life
Why is it so hard, hard to please you
All I wanted was you in the room

All my life, thinking about other guys
Never hit me like this
Cut me deep like a knife
All my life, tried so hard to be alright
What have you done to me
Blinded, I lost my mind

I want it better
I want it better
I want it better
I want it better for you
I want it better
I want it better
I want it better
I want it better for you
I want it better
I want it better




I want it better
I want it better for you

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics to SG Lewis's song "Better," the singer is expressing his desire for a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with someone he has feelings for. Although he sees that there is a connection between them, he feels unsure of how to act on it and is struggling to make the other person see what he sees. The singer is frustrated by the other person's lack of interest or response to his attempts to get closer, and he wonders why it's so hard to please them.


The singer also reflects on his past, and how he's gone through life searching for someone like the person he's now fixated on. He's been hurt before and has tried to put on a brave face, but this time he feels more vulnerable than ever. He's worried that he might lose the chance to be with this person if he doesn't act fast, or if he doesn't do things the right way. The repeated chorus of "I want it better for you" is a plea to the other person to give him a chance to prove himself and make things work between them.


Overall, the song captures a feeling of longing and uncertainty, as the singer tries to navigate his emotions and connect with someone he cares about deeply. The music, with its moody synthesizers and pulsing beat, adds to the sense of tension and urgency in the lyrics.
