(It's Hard) Letting You Go
It ain't no fun lying down to sleepAnd there ain't no secrets left for me to keepI wish the stars up in the skyWould all just call in sickAnd the clouds would take the moon outOn some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bendBut somehow they drove me back here once againTo the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soulI wish I'd just burn down this place that we called homeIt would all have been so easyIf you'd only made me cryAnd told me how you're leaving meTo some organ grinder's lullaby
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heartIt's hard letting you go
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blueAnd the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used toWell - me, these daysI just miss you - it's the nights that I go insaneUnless you're coming back for meThat's one thing I know that won't change
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heartIt's hard letting you go
Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heartAnd we'll find you somebody else newBut I've made my last trip to those carnival lipsWhen I bet all that I had on you
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hardIt's hard letting you goIt's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heartBut it's hard letting you go
