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 will try 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
