Lyrics
The Hardest Thing
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
Is to make my heart let go of you
My mind and I had moved along
My heart it seems keeps holding on
I guess it’s just the hardest thing to do
I really thought that I was over you
I thought that I could look for something new
But every time I turn around
I see your shadow on the ground
And it’s just the hardest thing to do
Chorus:
Why oh why can’t my heart just say goodbye
I guess it’s just the hardest thing to do
Why oh why can’t my heart just say goodbye
I guess it’s just the hardest thing to do
I still hear you in the songs I sing
Sometimes you still show up in my dreams
I don’t know just what to say
Except I wish you’d go away
Because it’s just the hardest thing to do
I thought by now your memory would fade
And I’d find someone else to take your place
But it grows stronger every day
This love of mine won’t go away
And it’s just the hardest thing to do
Chorus
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
Is to make my heart let go of you
