What do you say when it's over
I don't know if I should say anything at all.
One day we're rollin' in the clover,
next thing you know we take the fall.
Still, I think about the years since I first met you,
and the way it might have been without you here.
And I don't know if words from me can still upset you,
but I've just gotta make this memory stand clear.
I know I'm leavin' here a better man, for knowin' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
and I'm leavin here a better man.
I guess I always knew I couldn't hold you,
but I'd never be the one to set you free.
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you,
you still believe in some old meant-to-be.
Still I'm leavin' here a better man, for knowin' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
and I'm leavin here a better man.
Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man, for knowin' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I know I can,
and I'm leavin here a better man.
Yes I'm leavin here a better man.
