It's Tearing Him Apart

He’s staring at her picture in the fading morning light,
Thinking how to tell her that the words won’t sound right.
She gave him all her laughter, he gave her every dream,
But something’s changed inside him, now nothing’s as it seems.

He walks beside the river, rehearsing every line,
He never meant to hurt her, but truth has crossed the line.
He whispers to the evening, “Don’t let her see me cry,”
He never counted falling for another pair of eyes.

(Chorus)
It’s tearing him apart, though he’s the one to say goodbye,
He’s trying not to falter, but there’s sorrow in his eye.
It hurts him too—he knows what love’s about to cost,
But she’s the one who’ll feel it worse for everything that’s lost.

She knows there’s something distant when he takes her by the hand,
The silence says it all now—she doesn’t understand.
She’d trade the world to hold him, but the world won’t stay the same,
When love begins to whisper someone else’s name.

She came like quiet thunder, her smile a spark at night,
Not meaning to replace her, but her warmth felt so right.
He won’t call it betrayal—he’ll call it honest rain,
Two hearts can’t stay hiding when they’re free from pain.

Chorus)
It’s tearing him apart, though he’s the one to say goodbye,
He’s trying not to falter, but there’s sorrow in his eye.
It hurts him too—he knows what love’s about to cost,
But she’s the one who’ll feel it worse for everything that’s lost.

(Bridge)
So he’ll break it to her gently, with truth in every tear,
No anger, no pretending—just kindness through his tears.
One chapter softly closing, another yet to start,
He prays she’ll find her healing in the quiet of his heart.

(Chorus)
It’s tearing him apart, though he’s the one to say goodbye,
He’s trying not to falter, but there’s sorrow in his eye.
It hurts him too—he knows what love’s about to cost,
But she’s the one who’ll feel it worse for everything that’s lost.
It’s tearing him apart, though he’s the one to say goodbye,
He’s trying not to falter, but there’s sorrow in his eye.
It hurts him too—he knows what love’s about to cost,
But she’s the one who’ll feel it worse for everything that’s lost.
