A Better Man

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, still upset you

But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear

I know I'm leavin' here a better man

Knowing you this way

Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can

And I'm leaving 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

Knowing you this way

Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can

And I'm leaving here a better man

Yes, I'm leaving here a better man

Knowing you this way

Things I couldn't do before, now I know I can

And I'm leaving here a better man

Yes, I'm leaving here a better man
