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   (chorus)   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      Repeat chorus      Still, I'm leavin' here a better man...      Repeat chorus
