(It’s hard) Letting You Go

It ain’t no fun lying 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, and the place I lost my soul

I wish I’d just burn down this place that we called home

It would all have been so easy

If you’d only make me cry

And told me how you’re leaving me

to some organ grinder’s lullaby

It’s hard, so hard-It’s tearing out my heart

It’s hard letting 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

It’s hard, so hard-It’s tearing out my heart

It’s hard letting you go

Now some tarot card shark said I’ll draw you a heart

and we’ll find you somebody else new

But I’ve made my last trip to those carnival lips

When I bet all that I had on you

It’s hard, so hard-It’s tearing out my heart

It’s hard letting you go
