Better Man Lyrics

she lies and says she's in love with him she dreams in colour, she dreams in red

I think the "she dreams in colour" bit is her rational side. He probably provides for her, works, brings in the money. It's a happy, normal life. Even though she knows she doesn't love him, it's everything she should want. ie, all the colours.

"She dreams in red" symbolises her knowing she doesn't really love him, so she dreams of love.

In reference to the person who didn't understand why she couldn't find a better man.. It's pretty much because he's so traditionally perfect for her. He brings in the money, gives her a home, and everything seems fine on the surface. She just doesn't love him.

My thoughts anyway.
