It's Hard to Say Goodbye


There's something in your eyes
That's far too revealing
Why must it be like this?
A love without feeling


There's something wrong with you I know
I see it in your eyes
Believe me when I say
It's gonna be okay

I told you from the start
I won't be demanding
(I won't be demanding)
If you have a change of heart
I'll be understanding
(I'll be understanding)

When love becomes a broken heart
And dreams begin to die
Believe me when I say
We'll work it out some way

I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want, it's what I want
I want what's best for you

And if there's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It's hard to say, goodbye

We've lost that loving touch
We use to feel so much
I try to hide, the truth that's in my eyes
(A love without feeling)

But when I feel, we're not in love
I know I'm losing you
Believe me when I say
We'll work it out some way

I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want, it's what I want
I want what's best for you

And if there's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It's hard to say, goodbye

Don't say goodbye
If it's what you want, it's what I want
I want what's best for you

I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want, it's what I want
I want what's best for you

And if there's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It's hard to say goodbye

I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want, it's what I want
I want what's best for you

And if there's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It's hard to say goodbye
