(it's Hard) Letting You Go

It ain't no fun lyin' 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, 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 made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me to some organ grinder's lullaby

But it's hard, so hard, it's tearin' out my heart
It's hard lettin' 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 comin' back for me
That's one thing I'd know that won't change

'Cause it's hard, so hard, it's tearin' out my heart
But it's hard letting you go

Now some tarot card shark said, "I'll draw you a heart
We'll find you somebody else new"
Well, I've made my last trip to those carnival lips
When I bet all that I had on you

Oh, it is hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
Oh, it's hard lettin' you go
Ah, it's hard, so hard, it's tearin' out my heart
But it's hard letting you go away

It's been [inaudible] for us now two hundred days
A closer and when a fortune
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
Letting you go
