A child
that hides behind a chair,
almost afraid to grow
without you there.
Whisper words that make you see
what you’ve come to mean to me.
A voice
that rises from the heart,
the hunger that seizes me
and tears my soul apart.
And serving only to renew
how I came to feel for you.
Through your love I’d seen
forever.
We became as one.
I never saw you turn away.
My love was blind.
You call me when your storm is over.
Crying over love that I can give you.
When the night is the colder.
Holding on to me.
‘Cause it’s so hard letting go.
And it’s so hard not to cry.
With your face that lies,
you memorize
the reason why.
And when the love is gone
then one of us will know
it’s so hard letting go.
Foolish that I still believe
that love should never die.
It makes me cry to witness
where the story ends.
All the lovers in the world will
echo all the words that I will leave you,
When the night is lonely
only goes to show…
…that it’s so hard letting go.
And it’s so hard not to cry.
And I kneel for yesterday,
when you were mine.
And when the love is gone,
then one of us will know
it’s so hard letting go.
