I understand there's no future us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now you've made it clear
It'll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now we7ve got to say good-bye and I've go to be
strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both
of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if
we stay
Tell me one more time then darling there's just one
more thing
Before you walk away
CHORUS
Explain it to my heart
It's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that it's
suppose to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now won7t you please explain it to my heart
Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together and I might convince my
mind
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you
go
To jind that I must leave behind the only love I've
known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that It's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do I
CHORUS
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart...
