It's hard to say goodbye.

There's something in your eyes that's far too revealing 
Why must it be like this a love without feelin' 
Something wrong with you I know 
I see it in your eyes 
Believe me when I say 
It's gonna be okay 

I told you from the start I won't be demanding 
I won't be demanding 
If you have a change of heart I'll be understanding 
I'll be understanding 
When love becomes a broken heart and dreams begin to die 
Believe me when I say 
We'll work it out some way 

I'll never try to hold you back 
I wouldn't try controlling you 
If it's what you want 
It's what I want 
I want what's best for you 
And if there's something else that you're looking for 
I'll be the first to help you try 
Believe me when I say 
It's hard to say goodbye 

We've lost that loving touch we used to feel so much 
I try to hide the truth that's in my eyes 
The love without feeling 
But when I feel we're not in love, I know I'm losing you 
Believe me when I say 
We'll work it out some way 

I'll never try to hold you back 
I wouldn't try controlling you 
If it's what you want 
It's what I want 
I want what's best for you 
And if there's something else that you're looking for 
I'll be the first to help you try 
Believe me when I say 
It's hard to say goodbye 

Don't say goodbye 

If it's what you want 
It's what I want 
I want what's best for you 

I'll never try to hold you back 
I wouldn't try controlling you 
If it's what you want 
It's what I want 
I want what's best for you 
And if there's something else that you're looking for 
I'll be the first to help you try 
Believe me when I say 
It's hard to say goodbye 

I'll never try to hold you back 
I wouldn't try controlling you 
If it's what you want 
It's what I want 
I want what's best for you 
And if there's something else that you're looking for 
I'll be the first to help you try

 I cannot go with you or ever see you again.

You must not ask why. Just believe that I love you.

Go, my darling, and God bless you.
