| i never meant for you to get hurt
|
| and how i try, oh how i try
|
| i could never give you just what you deserve
|
| another man would surely learn
|
| i know these words may only serve to twist the knife
|
| but i’ll strive to make them heard
|
| maybe it’s better now i’ve gone away
|
| maybe it’s not, oh who can say
|
| and though it’s hard for me to say
|
| i know you’re better off this way
|
| and when i told her i didn’t love her anymore
|
| she cried
|
| and when i told her her kisses were not like before
|
| she cried
|
| and when i told her another girl had caught my eye
|
| she cried
|
| and then i kissed her with a kiss
|
| that could only mean goodbye
|
| and though it’s hard for me to say
|
| maybe you’re better off this way
|
| and though it’s hard for me to say
|
| i know you’re better off this way |
