She Cried - Rowland S. Howard

i never meant for you to get hurt

and how i try, oh how i try

i could never give you just what you deserve

another man would surely learn

i know these words may only serve to twist the knife

but i’ll strive to make them heard

maybe it’s better now i’ve gone away

maybe it’s not, oh who can say

and though it’s hard for me to say

i know you’re better off this way

and when i told her i didn’t love her anymore

she cried

and when i told her her kisses were not like before

she cried

and when i told her another girl had caught my eye

she cried

and then i kissed her with a kiss

that could only mean goodbye

and though it’s hard for me to say

maybe you’re better off this way

and though it’s hard for me to say

i know you’re better off this way
