It's hard to stay,
it's hard to look into your eyes
when I say I'm leaving.
I can't be sure,
but I think I made up my mind,
although your heart is bleeding.
I wish the only one I had to be was me
for you to see this clearly.
I wish the only thing I had to do was to
hold my arms around you.
So long, so hard,
until you understand.
So long, so hard,
until you understand.
and somehow I feel I'm pulling away your ground
before I've even started.
To realise my words have caught you by surprise
makes it even harder.
I wish there was a way
to make you read the signs
I'm bringing you this evening.
I wish the only thing I had to do was to
hold my arms around you.
So long, so hard,
until you understand.
So long, so hard,
until you understand.
