Lyric Explain It To My Heart

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 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 we ll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then 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 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
(Chorus)
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...
