(1st Verse) The hardest thing I'll ever do,
Is ta walk away still lovin' you.
But I'd give anything if you loved me, something's just ain't meant to be.
Cain't say it's all been time lost, and in the long run,
I'd be a better man, better off.
(Chorus) Gonna find my pride and self esteem,
Get on with my life, follow my dreams, ain't lookin' back.
Learn from my mistakes, once I've past this heartache.
I know when the hurtin' stops, I'll be a better man, better off.
(2nd Verse) I know Rome wasn't built in a day.
There's a lot of good mem'ries in my way.
If I had it all to do over again, wouldn't change a thing, 'cept for the end.
You want to be something you gotta pay the cost.
But in the long run, I'll be a better man, better off.
Gonna learn from my mistakes, once I've past this heartache.
I know when the hurtin' stops I'll be a better man, better off.
(Stop)
