Oh Got better things
to do with my time
Better things
to do with my time
Do with my time than you
Oh I got better things
to do with my time
Better things
to do with my time
Do with my time
I wasn’t ever sure
that I loved you
But I was always sure
you would let me down
I wasn’t ever sure
if I’d trust you
But I’m so goddamn sure
my energy is
just too precious to waste
So now you, now you wanna
Know me, wanna know me
You wanna know all about me,
wanna know about me
But he can’t have me
Cuz I left him alone
You know you wanna know me,
you wanna know me
You wanna know all about me,
wanna know about me
But he can’t have me
Cuz I’m gone no no know
That I – I got better things
to do with my time
Better things
to do with my time
Do with my time than you
Oh I got better things
to do with my time
Better things
to do with my time
Do with my time
Break it down
Oh Better things
to do with my time
Better things
to do with my time
Do with my time than you
Yes
Wasn’t ever sure
if I loved you
But I was always sure
you would have loved me back
You had me right right right
at my weakest Yeah
Now you’re hurting
I can see you’re mad
cuz you’re never gonna get
that back now
I know you wanna
Know me, wanna know me
You wanna know all about me,
wanna know about me
But he can’t have me
Cuz I left him alone
(I left him alone)
I know you wanna know me,
wanna know me
You wanna know all about me,
wanna know about me
But he can’t have me
Cuz I’m gone no no know
That I – I got better things
to do with my time
Better things
to do with my time
Do with my time than you
Oh I got better things
to do with my time
Better things
to do with my time
Do with my time
Break it down

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics express a clear decision to walk away from a relationship that drains time and energy, choosing self-worth over emotional dependence. The speaker reflects on doubt, disappointment, and broken trust, then firmly draws a line by prioritizing personal growth, confidence, and independence. Rather than lingering on regret, the message is about reclaiming control, refusing to be pulled back, and moving forward with certainty, knowing that time and energy are too valuable to waste on someone who no longer deserves them.
