They couldn't have told me that it would be like this,
that it could be like this for you.
I wish I would have known that it could be like this,
that it would be like this for you.

I know you're hurting. I know you're reaching out.
I'm sure you wonder what this is all about.
You could be spiteful for what's been done to you.
I'm sure you feel it. You know I feel it too.

Sometimes the hardest things in life are the things that we have to do.
Even when we feel it's right, I never want to hurt you.

It's never simple deciding what should be.
There's still a void here when you're an absentee.
You could be angry, but you're a bigger man.
We know you'll make it. Never forget to stand.

Sometimes the hardest things in life are the things that we have to do.
Even when we feel it's right, I never want to hurt you.

You've always been, you always will, you've always been a part of me.
You'll always be a part of me. You've always been a part.

The hardest things in life are the things that we have to do.
Even when we feel it's right, I never want to hurt you.
Sometimes the hardest things in life are the things that we have to do.
Even when we feel it's right, I never want to hurt you.
