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 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 something that'll make you cry

I can't put into words
The things I want to say
I'm tryin' to let you down in a gentle way
But there's just no easy goodbye

I thought I was dreaming
I didn't know where to start
I just wanted to hold her
And show her all my heart

So I told her I loved her
And she said, 'I love you too'
Then she quietly whispered
'But there's someone new'

'Cause this is gonna hurt
This is gonna ache
This is really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you something that'll make you cry

I can't put into words
The things I want to 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
Loves you better
Then 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 is really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you something that'll make you cry

I can't put into words
The things I want to 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 is really gonna cause your heart to break
I've gotta tell you something that'll make you cry

I can't put into words
The things I want to say
I'm tryin' to let you down in a gentle way
But there's just no easy goodbye
