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 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 something 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 just no easy goodbye

I thought I was dreaming

I didn't know where to start

I just wanted to hold her

And show her all 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"

'Cause this is gonna hurt

This is gonna ache

This is really gonna cause your heart to break

I've gotta tell you something 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 just no easy goodbye

It's so hard to let go

Of the one that you know

Loves you better

Then all of the rest

But she stood there by the door

As she turned to me once more

Sayin' "Maybe this is all 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 something 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 just 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 something 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 just no easy goodbye
