Explain It To My Heart Lyrics

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...
