Hard to Say Goodbye

[Verse 1]
You were sleeping on my shoulder
Cheap coffee going cold between us
Laughing at a movie we’d already seen
Every line
Every beat
Every bus stop
You said
“I’m messed up
I’m trying”
I said
“Same
I’ll stay
I’ll fight it”
You looked small in my old jacket
Like the world couldn’t bite if I hid you in it
[Chorus]
I look after you in this complicated real world
Holding all your pieces while I’m falling apart
All around the world there’s a million goodbyes
But this one sticks like a shard in my heart
It was so easy to fall for you
Why is it hard to say goodbye
Why is it hard to say goodbye (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Endless nights in half-lit kitchens
Burnt toast
Big plans
No dishes
You’d paint futures on a paper napkin
I’d pretend I believed every caption
Now your toothbrush leans like it’s waiting
But the door slam says you’re already gone
Every hallway echo’s just your name
And this empty bed feels a mile long
[Chorus]
I look after you in this complicated real world
Holding all your pieces while I’m losing my mind
All around the world there’s a million goodbyes
But this one hits like the very first time
It was so easy to fall for you
Why is it hard to say goodbye
Why is it hard to say goodbye (so hard)
[Bridge]
Nevermind what we said last night
Nevermind who was wrong
Who lied
I’m still standing where we ran out of light
Fall into night
I still reach for your side (woah)
[Chorus]
I look after you in this complicated real world
Holding all your pieces while I’m coming undone
All around the world there’s a million goodbyes
But this one burns like a rising sun
It was so easy to fall for you
Why is it hard to say goodbye
Why is it hard to say goodbye
Why is it hard to say goodbye
