Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been staring at this suitcase for an hour now
Trying to find the words to say somehow
You're standing in the doorway, eyes on the floor
We both know we can't do this anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I still love you, that's the hardest part
But loving you is breaking my heart
[Chorus]
Goodbye don't come easy
When you still mean the world to me
I'm not walking out 'cause I don't care
I'm leaving 'cause staying ain't fair
To you, to me, to who we used to be
Goodbye don't come easy
But I gotta set us free
[Verse 2]
Remember when we used to laugh all night?
Somewhere down the road we lost that light
I'm not saying that you did me wrong
I'm just saying that we held on too long
[Pre-Chorus]
I still love you, and I always will
But we've been running on empty still
[Chorus]
Goodbye don't come easy
When you still mean the world to me
I'm not walking out 'cause I don't care
I'm leaving 'cause staying ain't fair
To you, to me, to who we used to be
Goodbye don't come easy
But I gotta set us free
[Bridge]
Maybe in another life
The timing would be right
Maybe we'd get our happy ending
But not tonight, not tonight
So I'll kiss you one last time
And walk out into the night
[Final Chorus]
Goodbye don't come easy
When you'll always mean the world to me
I'm not walking out 'cause I don't care
I'm leaving 'cause you deserve more than where
We ended up, it's not your fault
Goodbye don't come easy
But love ain't always enough
