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 trin' to let you down in a gentle way 
But there's 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 her 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 trin' to let you down in a gentle way 
But there's 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 the turned to me once more 
Sayin' "Maybe this is 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 somethin' that'll make you cry 
I can't put into words the things I wanna say 
I'm trin' to let you down in a gentle way 
But there's 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 somethin' that'll make you cry 
I can't put into words the things I wanna say 
I'm trin' to let you down in a gentle way 
But there's no easy goodbye
