I must confess It wasn't my best But baby You know that I tried I won't lament The years that we spent There's no use in weeping and crying We've run out of time I've made up my mind Don't try to beg me to stay Leaving today Hurts me to say It's better It's better this way Better this way Than keep saying sorry Better this way Than keep hanging on Better this way Than someday, my darling We'll be okay It's better this way We can't pretend This isn't the end It ended a long time ago Let's raise a glass Toast to the past And all of the joy that we've known See you around It's a small town And you'll be with somebody new Politely we'll smile Knowing the while Oh that baby, I'm still loving you Better this way Than keep saying sorry Better this way Than keep hanging on Better this way and then someday, my darling We'll both be okay It's better this way We'll be okay It's better this way We'll not regret, 'cause it's better this way
