Passion can be as quiet as a whisper in your head
Pain can be so silent, you won't even know it's there
If rage could be so soft I might stay here with you
If you could see my heart it might turn your eyes to blue

But I've gotta let you go
It's harder to learn than it is to know
I wanna see you fly
It's easier to hurt than to say goodbye
It's easier to hurt than to say goodbye

God is as good as He is kind as He is just
He knows just how I feel: ashes to ashes, dust to dust
But I want a bigger cup, this one won't hold enough
A love and painted heartache and other fancy stuff

But I've gotta let you go
It's harder to learn than it is to know
I wanna watch you fly
It's easier to hurt than to say goodbye
It's easier to hurt than to say goodbye

It's gonna hurt when I say goodbye
