"It's Hard To Say Goodbye" lyrics

"It's Hard To Say Goodbye"
(with Paul Anka)

[Paul]
There's something in the air a feeling of danger
I've seen that look before the face of a stranger
There's something wrong with you I know
I see it in your eyes
Believe me when I say
It's gonna be okay
[Regine]
I told you from the start I won't be demanding
If you have a change of heart I'll be understanding
I only want to know just where I stand or where I lie
Believe me when I say
We'll work it out some way
[REFRAIN:]
[Regine / Paul]
I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want
It's what I want
I want what's best for you
And if there's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It's hard to say goodbye
[Paul]
I can tell by the way you lay your head on my shoulder
Your hand is cold as ice, your heart's even colder
[Regine]
It's tearing me up inside to think
No matter how hard I try
You may still walk away
No matter what I do or say
[Repeat Refrain]

[Regine / Paul]
If it's what you want
It's what I want
I want what's best for you
And if there's something else
That you're looking for, I'll
Be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It's hard to say goodbye
(It's hard to say goodbye)
I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
(I wouldn't try controlling you)
If it's what you want
It's what I want
And if there's something else
That you're looking for, I'll
Be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It's hard to say goodbye
[Repeat Refrain 'till fade]
