The Hardest Thing I've Ever Had To Do

(album: Loving You - 1996)

Look in these eyes, who do you see
Someone who chooses to be strong
Cause that's the way I'm supposed to be
I turn away, can't face this pain
I must accept the way you feel
Though our hearts don't feel the same

How I wish that we could work this out
Make things like the way they were
But I'm not the one you're looking for
And to stay with you would hurt

It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Oh watch you walk away from me
To a place where you need to be
Don't you worry I'll make sure my life goes on
I'll have to think of us as two, say goodbye to you
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do

You'll never know what I'm going through
I always seem to catch myself lost in thoughts of you
Why in this world, how could it be
That in you I'd find a love that you didn't find in me

Well I guess that I should live my life
And leave the past behind
Cause to try to make you stay with me
Would be a waste of time
(Be a waste of time)

It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Oh watch you walk away from me
To a place where you need to be
Don't you worry I'll make sure my life goes on
I'll have to think of us as two, say goodbye to you
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do

I know that there'll come a day when I'd feel it again
And it will be with someone who loves me as I am
Like the way that I, like the way that I love you

It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Oh watch you walk away from me
To a place where you need to be
Don't you worry I'll make sure my life goes on
I'll have to think of us as two (think of us as two)
Say goodbye to you
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
The hardest thing to say goodbye to you
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
