[Verse 1]
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out
On some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love - the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burned down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby
[Chorus]
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
[Verse 2]
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days
I just miss you - it's the nights that i go insane
Unless you're coming back for me
That's one thing i know that won't change
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Now some tarot card shark said i'll draw you a heart
And we'll find you somebody else new
But I made my last trip to those carnival lips
When I bet all that I had on you
[Chorus] x2
[Outro]
It's been 4,000 hours
200 days
I curse every minute
Since you ran away
It's hard
Letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
Letting you go
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out
On some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love - the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burned down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby
[Chorus]
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
[Verse 2]
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days
I just miss you - it's the nights that i go insane
Unless you're coming back for me
That's one thing i know that won't change

[Outro]
It's been 4,000 hours
200 days
I curse every minute
Since you ran away
It's hard
Letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
Letting you go
