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.
