Bad News Travels Fast

This is the hardest thing by far

That I have ever had to do

To stand in front of you

And tell you that I'm leaving

After all the time we shared

This is the longest night of all

It wasn't meant to be this way

I had it down so clear

Now it's all in pieces

After all the love we had

That's just the way it has to be

I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for me

I've turned it over in my mind

So many times, so many times

And I thought that I should be the one to tell you

Before you got it back from someone else

Good news gets there last

Bad news travels fast

This just may be my darkest hour

And I'm no good at long goodbyes

I'm tryin' to be so brave

And I keep getting weaker

After all the love we've shared

That's just the way it has to be

I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for me

I've looked at us from every side

Enough is enough, it's time to live our lives

Better say goodbye with some love left between us

Face to face before the rumors start to fly

Good news gets there last

Bad news travels fast
