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 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
Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man 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 Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man
