"The Hardest Part" lyrics

Pretend you're happy, pretend we're fine
I guess that's easier after all this time
Talk about someone else then look in my eyes
I know you still hold on to us inside
But we watched that butterfly fly

I'd give anything just to be with you again but it's not the right time
And I'd give anything just to feel you on my skin
But it's not the right time and it'll never be the right time, will it?
It might never be the right time and that's the hardest part of it

I keep you in my mind even though you've gone
Holding on to nothing's easier than letting go
Stuck in the memory of what has been
Just please don't love another like you loved me
Time doesn't heal, it just leaves me asking why

I'd give anything just to be with you again but it's not the right time
And I'd give anything just to feel you on my skin
But it's not the right time and it'll never be the right time, will it?
It might never be the right time and that's the hardest part of it

And I don't know why I feel this way
If I could, I'd change, believe me
And I know that you feel the same, is it too late for saving?
Oh, here I go again

Cause I'd give anything just to be with you again but it's not the right time
And I'd give anything just to feel you on my skin
But it's not the right time and it'll never be the right time, will it?
It might never be the right time and that's the hardest part of it
It'll never be the right time, will it?
