[Verse 1]
Your face lost its color, your eyes filled with tears
Your loving heart couldn't trust your own ears
It's so hard to tell an old love "goodbye"
I tried not to tell you to spare you the worst
But the longer I waited just deepened your hurt
It's so hard to tell an old love "goodbye"
I know when I walk away
You'll think there's another girl
But it's not that way, maybe some other day
I swear by all this world
I've tried to recapture the feeling I had
And I've never had anything hurt me this bad
It's so hard to tell an old love "goodbye"

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Lеt's save those old phrases likе "can't we be friends?"
For a friendship can't live where a love once has been
It's so hard to tell an old love what I'm telling you
It's hard to tell an old love "we're through"
