Better depicts the subtlety of a wavering love-hate relationship in a dysfunctional couple whose dark side takes over and leads to violence (verbal or physical). The lyrics resonate with an unacknowledged truth and blend with the trembling sounds of an electro-pop ballad. Addressing a complex and current topic, it's meant to open dialogues and to help reduce the stigma around this topic and judgment felt by those who have the courage to come forward.
Lyrics
They’ll never get to see
What goes on behind the scenes
They look up to the way you live
But they could never imagine
You look like a perfect partner
Act like a truthful lover
Pretend to care for her
But at home she fears your return
Cause deep down she knows
People don’t change no
Baby let me be
A better part of me
Promise I won’t repeat
The pain inflicted
Baby let me be
The one you need
The one that will make you feel
Once again at peace
Keep on promising
Soon there will be no more begging
Someone who preaches violence
Soon suffers sweet revenge
She can’t hear you say
Over and over again
Baby let me be
A better part of me
Promise I won’t repeat
The pain inflicted
Baby let me be
The one you need
The one that will make you feel
Once again at peace
Only God will know
The apologies you owe
Baby let me be
The me I can be
