(It's Hard) Letting You Go

It ain't no fun lyin' down to sleep

And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep

I wish the stars up in the sky

Would all just call in sick

And the clouds would take the moon out on some one-way trip

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend

But somehow they drove me back here once again

To the place I lost at love

The place I lost my soul

I wish I'd just burned down this place that we call home

It would all have been so easy

If you'd only made me cry

And told me how you're leaving me

To some organ grinder's lullaby

But it's hard, so hard

It's tearing out my heart

It's hard

Lettin' you go

Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue

And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to

Well, me, these days I just miss you

It's the nights that I go insane

Unless you're coming back for me

That's one thing I know that won't change

'Cause it's hard, so hard

It's tearin' out my heart

'Cause it's hard

Letting you go

Now some tarot card shark said, "I'll draw you a heart

We'll find you somebody else new"

Well, I've made my last trip to those carnival lips

When I bet all that I had on you

Ooh, it's hard, it's hard

It's hard, so hard

Oh, it's hard

Letting you go

Ah, it's hard

So hard

It's tearing out my heart

But it's hard letting you go, yeah

It's been five thousand hours, two hundred days

I curse every minute that you went away

It's hard, letting you go

It's hard, so hard

It's hard, so hard

It's hard letting you go

Letting you go
