[Verse 1]
Passion can be as quiet as a whisper in your head
Pain can be so silent you won't even know it's there
If rage could be so soft, I might stay here with you
If you could see my heart, might turn your eyes to blue

[Chorus]
But I've gotta let you go
It's harder to learn than it is to know
I wanna see you fly
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
God is as good as he is kind, as he is just
He knows just how I feel ashes to ashes, dust to dust
But I want a bigger cup, this one won't hold enough
A love and painted heartache and other fancy stuff

[Chorus]
But I've gotta let you go
It's harder to learn than
It is to know
I wanna watch you fly
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
[Outro]
It's gonna hurt
When I say goodbye
