| Keane – Better Than This Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I can relate to this song in a big way, I was in a relationship with somebody for 16 years from a young age and I tried to do the right thing when we had a son together at 18. Essentially I did not fulfil my ambitions or my potential and whilst I knew deep down I was with the wrong person I kept my eyes on the road took a steady job and generally accepted a life which was not what I had dreamed of. It took me a long time to do something to change that and make a decision not to settle for things in life if I wasn't happy or fulfiled. Essentially I felt like I was living somebody elses life which I think is kind of the meaning of this song. 2 years ago I made the decision to end the relationship and have found myself starting to realise all my life ambitions and finding my natural level that I should have been at had I not got into the relationship. I also met the sort of person I was destined to be with all those years ago. It poses a question of take a look in the mirror and make a decision, if you are truly happy with the person you see and the life you have then great and have no regrets but if not then 'get a grip on yourself' and do something about it. | |
