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 then 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
