Maybe the love you won't receive
Will lead me beyond that part of me
And I know it's sad, but I agree
You gave it away too easily

When all of the things you made me see
That lead me to this solemn decree
I ain't saying she's better than you, you see
She's just better than you for me

So throw those hands up
I didn't mean to drag you down
And keep that head up
It's better than the run around

Maybe your mother won't ever see
Half of the us become the we
And I know it's sad but I agree
You could just leave so easily

And all of the things you showed to me
That lead me to this solemn decree
I ain't saying she's better than you, you see
She's just better than you for me

So throw those hands up
I didn't mean to drag you down
And keep that head up
It's better than the run around

And later on, you'll be grateful that
That I gave it to you straight away
'Cause honestly, I could have just said
These things happen every day
These things happen every day

Like all your men, set in the past
It's better to leave without being asked
So tell me again you'll let me go
Without saying things you already know
Like "it's over" and "you don't know her"
But let me tell you honestly
I ain't saying she's better than you, you see
She's just better than you for me

I ain't saying she's better than you, you see
She's just better than you for me
