Discover the story of the song > Better Off (Dying) – Lil Peep

The protagonist is riding with chains on and has secrets involving cocaine. He suggests that it's better for his partner to not find out and that it would be better off for her to die than to cry. Despite his lack of effort, he still loves his partner and doesn't want to break her heart. The chorus repeats multiple times with the same message, and the outro gives a final reminder of his inability to make things work.
