Explain It To My Heart

[Verse 1] I understand there's no future for us here Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was Now you've made it clear It'll 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 the darling there's just one more thing Before you walk away [Chorus] Explain it to my heart It's better that we're over now Tell me one more time that this it's suppose to be Tell me that I'm better off without you How it's better to forget about you Darling, I understand Now won't you please explain it to my heart [Verse 2] Now if I try I can see the reasons why Why we can't stay together I might convince my mind But it's breaking 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 do I [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
