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
