The hardest part is that I love you
But I know it's time to let you go
We've tried and we've tried and again we've tried
For our efforts we have nothing to show
We pretend that it's okay
Friends admire our 'model' relationship
All we do is argue and fight
Love? It's more like an emotional trip
For a minute, lets forget love
A relationship should be built on trust
I can't honestly say that I trust you
Because I know it's your nature to lust
I'm sick of crying all night
Because you've hurt me and left me alone
I'm sick of hearing your voicemail
Because you wont pick up the phone
I know about the excuses
And every lie you've ever told
But I let it slide and forgot it
Because the love was more important to hold
Love is invisioned as warmth in your heart
But sometimes it's as cold as ice
We know this to be the truth
For our love has failed not once but thrice
Love is complicated
And even more difficult to show
But the hardest part about love
Is knowing when it's time to let it go
*********************************************
Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now you're Mr. Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill
Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay
I used to dream about what I would be
Last night I dreamed about a washing machine
I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore
Now you say I'm being silly
But you don't know me really
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
I keep the checkbook balanced
I decorate your palace
You know I used to think that you were king
Somewhere down deep I know you really love me
But you can't see that what we have's not all I needed
I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore
You try to tell me I'm not being fair to you
But life's too short for a selfish attitude
I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore
