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'd 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 somethin' that'll make you cry
I can't put into words the things I wanna say
I'm tryin' to let you down in a gentle way
But there's just no easy goodbye"

I thought I was dreamin'
I didn't know where to start
I just wanted to hold her
And show her all of my heart
So I told I loved her
And she said "I love you, too"
Then she quietly whispered
"But there's someone new"

This is gonna hurt, this is gonna ache
This is really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you somethin' that'll make you cry
I can't put into words the things I wanna 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
Loved you better
Than 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 really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you somethin' that'll make you cry
I can't put into words the things I wanna 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 really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you somethin' that'll make you cry
I can't put into words the things I wanna say
I'm tryin' to let you down in a gentle way
But there's just no easy goodbye
