If I don't leave, how will you see
All the better love that you deserve without me?
If I don't go, how will you know
You'll find space to breathe and time to heal tomorrow?
I hope time, oh, time, will tell the truth
I'll give the time to you, ooh-ooh
The hardest word is goodbye
So make it easy, don't cry
I love you for my whole life
The hardest word is goodbye
I know it hurts screaming, don't go
But I promise you, your heart won't stay hollow
I'll always hope that you'll move on
And you'll find a love that's what we had, but more
Time, oh, time, will tell the truth
So time I'll give to you
The hardest word is goodbye
So make it easy, don't cry
I love you for my whole life
The hardest word is goodbye
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
The hardest word is goodbye
The hardest word is goodbye
So make it easy, don't cry
I'll love you for my whole life
The hardest word is goodbye
The hardest word is goodbye
