She said "we've got to talk"
And i knew it was bad
Cause the look in her eyes
Was worried and sad
Then she called me angel
And i felt like a clown
As she stared out the window
And said "you'd better sit down cause

This is gonna hurt this is gonna ache
This is really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you somethin' that'll make you cry
I can't put into words the things i wanna say
I'm trin' to let you down in a gentle way
But there's no easy goodbye"

I thought i was dreamin'
I didn't know where to start
I just wanted to hold her
And show her all of my heart
So i told her i loved her
And she said "i love you too"
Then she quietly whispered
But there's someone new

This is gonna hurt, this is gonna ache
This is really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you somethin' that'll make you cry
I can't put into words the things i wanna say
I'm trin' to let you down in a gentle way
But there's no easy goodbye

It's so hard to let go
Of the one that you know
Loved you better
Than all of the rest
But she stood there by the door
As the turned to me once more
Sayin' "maybe this is for the best" oh

This is gonna hurt, this is gonna ache
This is really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you somethin' that'll make you cry
I can't put into words the things i wanna say
I'm trin' to let you down in a gentle way
But there's no easy goodbye

This is gonna hurt, this is gonna ache
This is really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you somethin' that'll make you cry
I can't put into words the things i wanna say
I'm trin' to let you down in a gentle way
But there's no easy goodbye
