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
