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
