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 want to say I'm tryin' 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 want to say I'm tryin' 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 want to say I'm tryin' 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 want to say I'm tryin' to let you down in a gentle way But there's no easy goodbye
