Better Off
Your Brand New Obsession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never paid it no mind, never paid it no mind
Caught me slipping on my third try
Never gave you no time, never gave you no time
See you slipping out the backdoor so you don't have to see me
Never meant to do you so wrong but you don't believe me
You're better off that way
Better without me
Not one for conversation
I left you so hurt
I know you're feeling jaded
See you slipping out the backdoor so you don't have to see me
Never meant to do you so wrong but you don't believe me
You're better off that way
Better without me
In "Better Off" by Your Brand New Obsession, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship filled with mistakes and regrets. The singer admits to slipping up multiple times and not paying attention to the consequences of their actions. They acknowledge that they didn't give their partner the time or attention they deserved.
The lines "See you slipping out the backdoor so you don't have to see me" and "Never meant to do you so wrong but you don't believe me" suggest that the singer's partner has reached a breaking point and is trying to distance themselves from the relationship. The singer realizes that their actions have caused deep hurt and acknowledges that their partner would be better off without them.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that their partner is better off without them. The lines "I'm tripping on words" and "Not one for conversation" indicate that the singer struggles with effectively expressing their feelings and communicating, resulting in misunderstandings and further damage to the relationship. The phrase "I know you're feeling jaded" suggests that their partner has become weary and skeptical due to the singer repeatedly messing up.
