Verse1
Sometimes you gotta look in the rear view mirror
to see what you left behind
sometimes you gotta look to understand
why you no longer have what you had
sometimes you gotta look in order to be
thankful for what you have now
it's time to start another page in this book
hand me a pen and paper
and I'll write you a song like no other
Bridge1
For some it might make you smile
some it might make you cry
some it might make you laugh
some it might make you angry
some it might make you understand why
Chorus
Why I do the things I do
it's all 'cause of you
you're not around now
I understand why
I still love you
though I hurt deep inside
I'm movin' on now
it doesn't feel right
but I have no choice
'cause losin' you is
The Hardest Thing
I've ever had to do
Verse2
I used to love seein' your face
but now when I do
I have to walk away
it still shakes me deep inside
but I'll live another day
without you in my life
Bridge2
It might make you smile
it might make you cry
it might make you laugh
it might make you angry
it might make you understand why
Repeat Chorus
Verse3
In my mind
there's no one like you
all the fights
all the tears
all the love we had
would've been worth it
if we'd made it through
but in my heart
I know there's another
somewhere waitin' for me
(solo)
Verse4
I'm sorry for everything
I'm sorry for hurtin' you
the way I did
I'm sorry for hurtin' the kids
I'm sorry for makin' you cry
I'm sorry for breakin' your heart
for pushin' you outta my life
Bridge3
Parts of it make me smile
parts of it make me cry
parts of it make me laugh
parts of it make me angry
but I understand why
Repeat Chorus
