Now That's What I Call Music! - Hardest Thing, The lyrics

We both know that I shouldn't be here

This is wrong

And baby it's killing me, it's killing you

Both of us trying to be strong

I've got somewhere else to be

Promises to keep

Someone else who loves me

And trusts me fast asleep

I've made up my mind

There is no turning back

She's been good to me

And she deserves better than that

Chorus:

It's the hardest thing

I'll ever have to do

To look you in the eye

And tell you I don't love you

It's the hardest thing

I'll ever have to lie

To show no emotion

When you start to cry

I can't let you see

What you mean to me

When my hands are tied

And my hearts not free

We're not meant to be

It's the hardest thing

I'll ever had to do

To turn around and walk away

Pretending I don't love you

I know that we'll meet again

Fate has a place and time

So you can get on with your life

I've got to be cruel to be kind

Like Dr. Zhivago

All my love I'll be sending

And you will never know

There can be no happy ending

Chorus

Maybe another time, another day

As much as I want to, I can't stay

(Ooh)

I've made up my mind

There is no turning back

She's been good to me

And she deserves better than that

Chorus

I don't want to live a lie

What can I do
