A better man

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

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

(Ooo ooo ooo)

Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man
