The Hardest Thing
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
Was get up the nerve to leave you
To admit that my love wasn’t enough
To mask the way you neglected us
And what’s so hard is that you need me
Only I can’t be what you need me to be
When you can’t find the right way to treat me
And I’m so scared of what would be
What will become of you after no more me
Because you swore I was your everything
And I would be if that were how you treated me
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
Was to realize that I can’t change you
No matter how much I try to love you
My love isn’t enough to fix all that’s broke in you
And no matter how hard I try to accept
My love doesn’t numb me to the things you do
But only makes it hurt more and lingers there too
The hardest thing I’ve ever I had to do
Was to finally realize I was enabling you
And I promise, with tears, I’ve tried my best
But I can’t go on wondering about the rest
The rest of our days together that I’d spend crying
Over every little thing I think I’m missing
The rest of our days together that I’d spend lying
About every reason you never seem to listen
The rest of our days together that I’d spend trying
With no success only to end up wishin’
That I could just end it all and turn my love off
Walk away, not look back, and take the lost
Leave it in your hands and let you do the work
Finally take the time and put my feelings first
And since everyone has there own opinions of you
No one will ever understand what I’m going through
The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
Is know that I’ve probably lost a friend in you.
