Explain it to My Heart

I understand there's no future for us here

Guess, I fooled myself into thinkin' there was

Now you've made it clear

It will never be right, guess we knew it all along

Now we've got to say goodbye

And I've got 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, my darlin' there's just one more thing

Before you walk away

Explain it to my heart, it's better that we're over now

Tell me one more time, this is the way it's suppose to be

Tell me that I'm better off without you, how it's better to forget about you

Darlin' I understand, now won't 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 breakin' my heart to know I've got to let you go

To find 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 goodbye

I can tell myself a thousand lies but tell me now

Tell me how I do

Explain it to my heart, it's better that we're over now

Tell me one more time, this is the way it's suppose to be

Tell me that I'm better off without you, how it's better to forget about you

Darlin', I understand, now won't you please explain it to my heart?

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, tell me that I'm better off without you

How it's better to forget about you, darlin', I understand

Now, won't you please explain it to my heart?

It's better that we're over now, tell me one more time

This is the way it's suppose to be, tell me that I'm better off without you

How it's better to forget about you, darlin', I understand

Now, won't you please explain it to my heart?
