[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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
There's a lot of good memories in my way
And if I had it to do over again
I wouldn't change a thing, except for the end

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
