  • 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 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

    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

    (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
    Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man Writer/s: Clint Patrick Black, James Hayden Nicholas
