Why is it so hard to say goodbye? Airports and train stations see it all the time When someone's last goodbye Blends in with someone's sigh Why is it so hard to accept that you might never see someone again? The someone who means so much to you The someone who says he will return someday But never does It's like the darkness coming into your life ...and switching off all the lights And all you're left with are the distant memories And thoughts of what could've been There is none to hear your cries Just you and the empty skies But you still hope against hope that someday that person will return You call him You mail him But you never get no reply You sometimes go to the airport And look at people waiting for their loved ones In hand a rose 'Coz someone's coming home And you wish you were that person So...why is it so hard to say goodbye? 'Coz maybe you get a premonition of the sense of finality 'Coz maybe you can clearly see... ...this is the end There is no road up ahead And the person who meant the world to you Will be the one who will destroy your world
