[Verse 1] Giving you up Is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do You’re chewing on that ball cap brim Like you always do I’m talking brave, but my hands They’re shaking right on cue [Pre-Chorus] Boy, I hope you know How much this hurts Every word tastes like goodbye [Chorus] Giving you up is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do Boy, I hope you know how much this hurts me losing you Looking in your eyes made tears well up in mine Doing the best thing for you is destroying me inside ‘Cause loving you forever Don’t mean I get to keep you this time [Verse 2] Your truck keys on the table That picture in the frame First dance in the kitchen I can’t say your name I’d hold you while I heal you If breaking didn’t make you whole [Pre-Chorus] Boy, I hope you know I’d stay if I could But wanting you ain’t good for your soul [Chorus] Giving you up is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do Boy, I hope you know how much this hurts me losing you Looking in your eyes made tears well up in mine Doing the best thing for you is destroying me inside ‘Cause loving you forever Don’t mean I get to keep you this time [Bridge] One last kiss on your forehead One last pull to your chest (oh no) I walk away on these weak knees Praying you forget the rest [Chorus] Giving you up is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do Boy, I hope you know how much this hurts me losing you Looking in your eyes made tears well up in mine Doing the best thing for you is destroying me inside ‘Cause loving you forever Means letting go and watching you shine
