Lyrics:

I understand theres no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now youve made it clear

Itll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now weve got to say good-bye and Ive got to be strong

So tell me one more time how its better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how well hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling theres just one more thing
Before you walk away

Chorus
Explain it to my heart
Its better that were over now
Tell me one more time this is
the way that its suppose to be
Tell me that Im better off without you
How its better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now wont you please explain it to my heart

Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we cant stay together and I might
convince my mind
But its breaking my heart to know Ive got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love
Ive known

Well I can tell myself that I never
realy needed you
I can tell myself that its 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 Ill be better
If we dont stay together
Say that Ill be better off free
But dont say it to me

Explain it to my heart.
