It's Hard to Say Goodbye
As I pack I look around
I can't take it; I sink to the ground
I think about today
I think why we can't stay
Daddy says it's for the best
That I'll like where we rest
He says everything will be alright
That it's time to say goodbye
But I don't wanna leave
I want to be free
I don't wanna go
And I don't wanna know
That I have to leave
Sometimes, it's hard to say goodbye.
I stare at him in shock
S he gets ready to walk
He says he doesn't wanna see me
That he just wants to leave
Daddy says it's for the best
That he'll regret it when he rests
He says it'll be alright
That I need to say goodbye
But I don't wanna leave
I want to be free
I don't wanna go
And I don't wanna know
That I'm not wanted
Sometimes, it's hard to say goodbye.
I pluck a random flower
As I'm standing in a shower
I look upon his name
That's written on a grave
Now daddy's not here to say it's for the best
He's dead now, and he's laid to rest
He can't tell me it'll be alright
He can't tell me how to say goodbye
And I don't wanna leave
I want to be free
I don't wanna go
And I don't wanna know
The truth that's setting in
Sometimes, it's hard to say goodbye.
