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 then 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
