The Hardest thing

*Verse 1*
We were young and free
In a world that only we could see
You loved me, You wanted me
And you made it known
In every single way you knew
But what did I do
I never gave you a chance
I let you slip away

*Pre-Chorus*
Life moved on, like life will do
I said i do, but not to you
And now I want you, but what do I do


*Chorus*
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is love someone I cant be with
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is see your face in all my dreams
Then wake up in a different world
And pretend it don't hurt
The hardest thing I've ever had to do is love you from afar

*Verse 2*
We found each other again
After 20 long years
But its bittersweet,
Because you now belong to someone else

Even though we talk very often
And my heart yearns for you
It would be fool hardy
To think I can ever be with you

*Chorus*
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is love someone I can't be with
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is love you quietly, love you silently
Love you in a place no one can see
Love you from a distance
The hardest thing I've ever had to do is love you from afar

*Bridge*
We laugh about the past
like it's just a memory
But my heart knows
That you still love me too
If life was different, if time was kind
If we had waited, if stars aligned
But Life is just Life
So I will love you in silence
I'll keep you in my heart



*Chorus*
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is love someone I can't be with
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is see your face in all my dreams
Then wake up in a different world
And pretend it don't hurt
The hardest thing I've ever had to do is love you from afar

*Instrumental interlude*

*Soft outro*
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is love someone I can't be with
An old love that never left
A bittersweet love that is always felt
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Is let you go... and still hold on
The hardest thing I've ever had to do is love you from afar
