Better

The speaker looks back on a painful relationship and feels that, when they were alone, other people expected them to understand what was happening without offering guidance. At first, they describe being hurt and caught up in love; later, they say they know the other person better and would make different choices. The mood shifts from regret and heartbreak toward determination and a warning to think carefully.

“Scars” suggests emotional wounds that remain after the relationship. The idea of “breaking the charms” implies escaping a powerful attraction or spell, not literally undoing magic. Calling the experience “bittersweet” captures its mixed feeling: the love may have mattered, but it also caused pain. The “spark” from a broken heart suggests that suffering can become motivation to move forward.

The lyrics do not present the relationship in a fully clear or balanced way. The speaker blames the other person for harm, yet also admits falling in love and wishing they had known better. Their wish that the other person would understand themselves may show care, frustration, or both. The repeated claim of knowing better can sound like hard-earned wisdom, but it may also be an attempt to convince oneself after a painful loss.
