Annotations and Meaning of No Better:

Verse 1:

Don't care what I'm fighting
Just who I'm fighting for
I don't care if I'm dying
Just care what my life is for

This verse highlights the singer's determination and priorities. She emphasizes that the purpose behind her struggles matters more than the struggles themselves. The focus is on the people she loves and the meaning behind her life.

Chorus:

Long as there's your hand to hold
I don't need glitter or gold
'Cause you can have it all
But a house don't make a home
I couldn't build this alone
If there's one thing I know
I ain't no better, ain't no better on my own

In the chorus, the performer conveys that material wealth and possessions are insignificant compared to the value of a loving relationship. The phrase "a house don't make a home" implies that a true home is built with love and companionship, not just physical structures. The repetition of "I ain't no better on my own" underscores the importance of her partner's presence in her life.

Verse 2:

Don't care where I'm going (Where I'm going)
I just care that you're by my side
The answer is so simple (Simple)
When you get the question right

This verse continues the theme of valuing companionship over everything else. The singer is indifferent about the destination as long as her loved one is with her. The lines "The answer is so simple when you get the question right" suggest that the key to happiness is understanding what truly matters – in this case, love and togetherness.

Bridge:

I took the lonely road
Tripped over sticks and stones
But I found my way back home
'Cause I understand, I understand, yeah, yeah

The bridge reflects on a journey of hardship and isolation. The singer admits to taking a difficult path but ultimately finding her way back to what is truly important – her home and loved ones. This part of the song adds depth by acknowledging past struggles and celebrating the wisdom gained from those experiences.

Chorus (Reprise):

Long as there's your hand to hold on
I don't need glitter or gold
'Cause you can have it all
But a house don't make a home
I couldn't build this alone
If there's one thing I know
I ain't no better (I know)
I ain't no better on my own

The reprise of the chorus reinforces the central message of the song. It reiterates the idea that love and partnership are far more valuable than any material possession. The repetition of "I ain't no better on my own" emphasizes the singer's deep appreciation for her partner's support and presence.
