Better Than Better
T.N.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better.

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better.

The hardest part this troubled heart has never
Yet been through now.
We've healed the scars that got their start
Inside someone like you now.

Well had I known or I'd been shown back
When I longed you'd take me.
To break the charge that brought me home
And all that won't erase me.

I never would know that I could
No matter what you'd pay me.
Replay the part, you stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy.

If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me.
It'd be enough, but just my luck,
I fell in love and baby all that I wanted was

Now I know you better,
You know I'd know better,
Now I know you better!

So bittersweet, this tragedy won't ask for absolution,
This melody inside of me still searches for solution,
A twist of fate, a change of heart,
Kills my infatuation,
A broken heart, provides the spark for my determination,

No one ever told me when I was alone,
They just thought I'd know better, better.




Ooh, no one ever told me when I was alone,
They just thought I'd know better, better.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of T.N.T.'s song "Better Than Better" convey a message of self-discovery and growth through personal experiences. The singer reflects on the fact that no one ever told them what they needed to hear when they were alone, assuming that they should have known better. This message can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to speak to the idea that we are often left to figure things out for ourselves and that the hardest lessons in life can be the most valuable.


The second verse of the song suggests that the singer has been through some tough times and has come out on the other side, stronger and more resilient than before. It seems that they have been able to heal from past hurts and move forward in their life, despite the challenges they have faced. The lines "The hardest part this troubled heart has never / Yet been through now" indicate that the singer has faced difficult times in the past, but that the challenges they are currently facing are new and different.


The chorus of the song suggests that the singer has learned something important about themselves and their relationships with others. They say "Now I know you better, you know I'd know better," indicating that they have gained a deeper understanding of someone they care about, and that this knowledge has changed their perspective in some way. This understanding may have come at a cost, as the lines "Replay the part, you stole my heart / I should have known you're crazy" suggest that the singer has been hurt by someone they trusted.


Overall, "Better Than Better" explores themes of self-discovery, growth, and resilience. The lyrics suggest that we can learn important lessons from our experiences, even if those experiences are painful or challenging.
