What do you say when it's over?
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.
I don't know if words from me can still upset you,
But I've just got to make this memory stand clear.
I know I'm leav-in' he-re a better man,
For know-in' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can.
And I'm leav-in' here a better man.
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's.
Still I'm leav-in' here a better man,
For know-in' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can.
And I'm leav-in' here a better man.
For know-in' you this way.
Things I couldn't do before, now I know I can.
And I'm leav-in' here a better man.
Yes, I'm leav-in' here a better man.
