I never meant for you to get hurt
And how I tried, oh how I tried
I could never give you just what you deserved
Another man would surely learnI know these words
They 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 sayAnd though it's hard for me to say
I know you're better off this wayAnd when I told her
I didn't love her anymore, she cried
And when I told her
Her kisses were not like before, she criedAnd when I told her
Another girl had caught my eye, she cried
And then I kissed her
With a kiss that could only mean goodbyeAnd 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 wayGet away, get away
Get away, get away
Get away, get away
