It's So Hard To Say Goodbye

Hey, it's me

I put a lot of thought into what you said

And at first, I was hurt and upset, I was angry

But now that I've had time to think

I realize that a lot of what you said is true

I'm understanding now that maybe it's for the best

But regardless of what's happened

I just want you to know that I'll never stop loving you

I'll always love you, and I hope you're happy

As you pack your things to leave again

I feel it, wanting you to change your mind

Or maybe it's good if you go tonight

There have been many times before but somehow

We find reason why we shouldn't go our separate ways

Then go and cause each other pain

This can really be the end, how do I erase

All of this love I have inside? I can't bare to see you cry

And as the door began to close on us

Do I just sit and let you go

Or do I call out for you?

I'm so confused, tell me what to do

It's so hard to say goodbye

Dry your eyes

Girl, I love you so

It's so hard to say goodbye (I'm never gonna let you go)

Girl, don't cry

'Cause, baby girl, you don't have to leave, no

I didn't mean to waste your time

But I've known for quite a while you weren't happy

With me and I've had days I wanted to leave

But to think about one day or one night without you

Baby, it's the fear of losing love

The kind of love that you need so much

I know you will be alright

You'll be fine, get a new man

Someone who helps you live all your fantasies

But, girl, I don't it's me

Before I let you go, can I hold you?

Wipe away your tears, console you

Make you know that my love was true

It's so hard, baby, saying goodbye to you

It's so hard to say goodbye

Dry your eyes

Girl, you need to dry your eyes

It's so hard to say goodbye

It's so hard to say goodbye

Girl, don't cry (you don't have to cry)

Baby girl, you don't have to leave, no

How could you just look me in the eye

Forgetting about all the things that were right

How could you just let me go

When you know (all this love I had for you)

All of the promises we made

The good and the bad, we vowed that we'd stay

You would have known that I didn't want to go

If you had taken the time to just say goodbye

But you just let me leave, baby

It's so hard to say goodbye

Dry your eyes (it's so hard to say goodbye)

I know you should've let me go

I'm just here to let you know

It's so hard to say goodbye (never shoulda let me cry)

Girl, don't cry (so sorry I made you cry)

Baby girl, you don't have to leave, no (things will be better)

Don't leave me, baby, no

Baby girl, you don't have to leave, no

So sorry, yes

It's so hard to say goodbye, so don't leave me, baby

Oh, whoa, baby, don't leave, no, no

'Cause, baby girl, you don't have to leave, no

No, no, oh no, no, no
