[Verse 1]
I'm unhappy
'Cause I lost someone who was mine
As I face the morning without him
Now all I do is cry
If I was more gentle and sentimental
Then he'd be here with me
But I took the man for granted, I was so demanding
Now all I feel is misery

[Chorus]
Don't ever wanna let ya go
It's hard to say goodbye
I don't ever wanna leave you
It's hard to say goodbye
Oh, I'm still in love, baby, now I know
So hard to say it
So hard to tell you goodbye

[Verse 2]
Is a word that I've always feared
'Cause it makes me think that forever
Somehow has disappeared
To a haunting memory
That's so strong that I can't forget
Anytime I hear the phone ring I start to daydream
It's you on the other line and you keep asking me why
Oh, why did we ever break up?
Why can't we make up and give our love just one more try?
My whole world is falling apart
Without you, I'm lost
I need you, I need you right here with me
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't ever wanna give you up
It's hard to say goodbye
I don't ever wanna leave you
It's hard to say goodbye
Oh, baby, no no, no, no no no
So hard to say it
Baby, I need you right here
So hard to tell you...

It's hard to say goodbye
Don't do it, don't say it
It's hard to say goodbye
Don't let me go, I need you, baby
So hard to say it
So hard to tell you

[Pre-Chorus]
If I was more gentle and sentimental
Then he'd be here with me
Now my world is falling apart
Without him, I'm lost
I need him, I need him right here with me

[Chorus]
It's so, so, so hard
It's hard to say goodbye
Goodbye
It's hard to say goodbye
Aw baby, don't go
Don't make me cry
So hard to say it
So hard to tell you goodbye
Goodbye...
I don't ever want to let you go, baby
So hard to tell you goodbye

I never want to see us break up
Oh baby, can't we try to make up
I never want to lose you cause you mean so much to me
I'll never take your love for granted
Oh baby, give our love a chance
It's so hard, so hard, I don't wanna let you go
It's hard to say goodbye
It's hard to say goodbye
So hard to say it
So hard to tell you goodbye

It's hard to say goodbye
I don't wanna leave you
It's hard to say goodbye
I'm still in love, baby, now I know
So hard to say it
So hard to tell you goodbye
