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
