[Verse 1]

The hardest thing I'll ever do

Is to walk away still loving you

I'd give anything if you loved me

But some things just ain't meant to be

Can't say it's all been time lost, but in the long run

I'll be a better man, better off

[Chorus]

Gonna find my pride, self esteem

Get on with my life, follow my dreams, ain't lookin back

Learn from my mistakes once I'm past this heartache

I know when the hurting stops, I'll be a better man, better off

[Verse 2]

I know Rome wasn't built in a day

But there's a lot of good memories in my way

And if I had it all to do over again

I wouldn't change a thing, except for the end

Gonna be some pain, gotta pay the cost

But in the long run, I'll be a better man, better off

[Chorus]

Gonna find my pride, self esteem

Get on with my life, follow my dreams, ain't lookin back

Learn from my mistakes once I'm past this heartache

I know when the hurting stops, I'll be a better man, better off

[Outro]

I'm gonna learn from my mistakes once I'm past the heartache

I know when the hurting stops, I'll be a better man, better off

A whole lot better off

A better man, better off
