Better Off
david entendu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's taking selfies in the back
Like she knows I want her real bad
She knows I got it bad too
Loves to gossip with her friends
Always out on the weekend
Yeah, bby, break my heart through

Know she's got some other plans
So strung out on her sins
She's got a bag of pills too
Knows about the latest trends
She's the best at play pretend
Can't fake it like you do

She's taking selfies in the back
Like she knows I want her real bad
She knows I got it bad too
Loves to gossip with her friends
Always out on the weekend
Yeah, bby, break my heart through

Know she's got some other plans
So strung out on her sins
She's got a bag of pills too
Knows about the latest trends
She's the best at play pretend
Can't fake it like you do

It started from a mistake
She tried, but can't erase
Been tainted since that day
It'll never be the same
Yeah, she always places blame
Never gives without the take
And honestly, I can't relate
I can't relate

She's taking selfies in the back
Like she knows I want her real bad
She knows I got it bad too
Loves to gossip with her friends
Always out on the weekend
Yeah, bby, break my heart through

Know she's got some other plans
So strung out on her sins
She's got a bag of pills too
Knows about the latest trends
She's the best at play pretend
Can't fake it like you do

He looks so dead in the eyes
So tired of the lies
Better off alone now
But nostalgia hangs around
Hardly out on the weekend
Don't wanna waste time again
No, he's got another plan

Yeah, he's got another plan

She's taking selfies in the back
Like she knows I want her real bad
She knows I got it bad too
Loves to gossip with her friends
Always out on the weekend
Yeah, bby, break my heart through

Know she's got some other plans
So strung out on her sins
She's got a bag of pills too
Knows about the latest trends




She's the best at play pretend
Can't fake it like you do
