I never meant for you to get hurt,nAnd how I tried,nOh how I tried.nnI could never give you just what you deserved,nAnother man, would surely learn.nnI know these words, they only serve to twist the knife,nBut I will try, to make them heard.nMaybe it's better now I've gone away,nMaybe it's not,nOh who can say.nnAnd though it's hard, for me to say,nI know you're better off this way.nnAnd when I told her I didn't love her anymore,nShe cried.nAnd when I told her, her kisses were not like before,nShe cried.nAnd when I told her another girl had caught my eye,nShe cried.nAnd I kissed her, with a kiss that could only mean goodbye.nnAnd though it's hard, for me to say,nMaybe you're better off this way.nAnd though it's hard, for me to say,nI know you're better off this way.nnGet away [Repeats]
