Title: The Hard Part VERSE 1 The door slammed shut, the house went still The sun went down as it always will. I thought the "leaving" was the heavy lift The hardest part of a permanent shift. But I’m standing here in a quiet hall Staring at the marks on a kitchen wall. I thought the "Goodbye" was the end of the road But I’m just now feeling the weight of the load. PRE-CHORUS It’s a long way down from the "I love you" To the "What in the world am I gonna do?" Yeah, the end of the movie is where the music stops But I’m just now watching as the first tear drops. CHORUS Everyone thinks that the "Goodbye" is the end Like a "Closed" sign hanging where the story’s been. But the "Go" is a minute, and the "Gone" is a life The edge of the "Over" is a different kind of knife. Yeah, the closing of the door is where the quiet wins... When it’s over... and the heartbreak begins. VERSE 2 It’s just another day of holding on to memories Trying to find the man that I used to be. I found a grocery list written by you Still on the fridge, from before we called it through Just simple things like "bread" and "wine" Reminding me that you’re not mine. I’m walking through the house, just killing time With a mountain of "Lonesome" I gotta climb. CHORUS Everyone thinks that the "Goodbye" is the end Like a "Closed" sign hanging where the story’s been. But the "Go" is a minute, and the "Gone" is a life The edge of the "Over" is a different kind of knife. Yeah, the closing of the door is where the quiet wins... When it’s over... and the heartbreak begins. BRIDGE The ending was fast... But the "After" is slow. The "Goodbye" was easy... It’s the "Living" that’s the show. Yeah, it’s the "Living" that’s the show. OUTRO When it’s over... (Yeah, you’re finally gone) And the heartbreak begins... (How do I carry on?) It’s just another day... Holding on to memories.
