The hardest breakups are those in which there is no animosity.  You don’t dislike the person.  Too many differences in the way you go about day to day living, and you just don’t want to be their partner anymore.

the album

I know you don’t want to go

I should ask you to stay

All the words that you have said

Just seem to get into the way

We shared dreams when we were young

We’re not those kids anymore

Now there’s nothing left to say

It’s never been like this before

Ch:

Our life’s in boxes on the floor

The years we’ve gathered along the way

I only wish that I could say

I don’t love you anymore

You’ve been a good friend to me

Perhaps the best I’ll ever find

It’s hurt a long time to know

You’ll be leavin’ me behind

Ch:

It’s time you must be on your way

You need to make a new start

The emptiness you’ll leave behind

Is going to tear me apart.
