It ain`t no fun lying down to sleep 
And there ain`t no secrets left for me to keep 
I wish the stars up in the sky 
Would all just call in sick 
And the clouds would take the moon out 
On some one-way trip 

I drove all night down streets that wouldn`t bend 
But somehow they drove me back here once again 
To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul 
I wish I`d just burn down this place that we called home 
It would all have been so easy 
If you`d only made me cry 
And told me how you`re leaving me 
To some organ grinder`s lullaby 

It`s hard, so hard - it`s tearing out my heart 
It`s hard letting you go 

Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue 
And the neighbor`s dog don`t bark like he used to 
Well - me, these days 
I just miss you - it`s the nights that I go insane 
Unless you`re coming back for me 
That`s one thing I know that won`t change 

It`s hard, so hard - it`s tearing out my heart 
It`s hard letting you go 

Now some tarot card shark said I`ll draw you a heart 
And we`ll find you somebody else new 
But I`ve made my last trip to those carnival lips 
When I bet all that I had on you 

It`s hard, it`s hard, it`s hard, so hard 
It`s hard letting you go 
It`s hard, so hard, it`s tearing out my heart 
But it`s hard letting you go
