Hard to Say Goodbye
[FLICK]
Don't worry
Don't sweat it
Go do somethin' wrong, then move along
'Cause it won't weigh on your mind
If you don't let it
It isn't hard to say
I'm so sorry
I meant better
Hell it's nothin' new you put me through
Take the time now to spell out just why
In your first letter
It isn't hard to say goodbye
Monty's not the point
Isn't now, never was
Your head does not know what you need
Your heart does
Don't worry
Don't sweat it
Don't know what he said climbin' in your bed
But it took him all the way
But you don't get it
'Cause anyone can say
I'm so lonely
I want someone
Dammit, he's the kind you always find
Doin' somethin' to catch someone's eye
Who's the real dumb one?
It isn't hard to say goodbye[VIOLET]
You know what really bothers you?
Monty had the nerve to do
What you were only dreaming of
Monty's just a boy, Flick, I know that
But I don't regret it
I did something fine
I'll remember forever
[FLICK]
Monty's not the point
Isn't now
Never was
But you can't ever find your way
If your heart doesn't lead
You don't know what you need
Your heart does[VIOLET]
Two kinds of people in this world
Some say yes and some say no
I'm only learnin' to say yes
I'm bound to make mistakes
But I'm bound to try
I know you think I'm no great shakes
But there's more to me than meets the eye
Goodbye
If I was smart I'd go back home
But I don't give a damn
And I'll tell you why
I'm miles and miles from who I am
For once I'm not afraid or shy
Goodbye
I'm gonna miss you, Flick, a lot
I wish you felt the same as I
Goodbye
