Explain It to My Heart (2009 Remaster)

I understand theres 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 good-bye
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 well hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling
There's just one more thing
Before you walk away
Explain it to my heart

It's better that were over now
Tell me one more time this is the way
That it's supposed 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
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 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 good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do i
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

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
