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 learn.



I 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 say.



And though it's hard, for me to say,

I know you're better off this way.



And when I told her I didn't love her anymore,

She cried.

And when I told her, her kisses were not like before,

She cried.

And when I told her another girl had caught my eye,

She cried.

And I kissed her, with a kiss that could only mean goodbye.



And 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 way.



Get away,

Get away,

Get away,

Get away,

Get away,

Get away.
