Hard to Say Goodbye
Beyoncé Knowles Sharon Leal & Anika Noni Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've each got to go our separate ways
And now were standing here helpless
Looking for something to say
We've been together a long time
We never thought it would end
You were always my friend
And its hard to say goodbye my love
Its hard to see you cry my love
Its hard to open up that door when you're not sure what you're going for
We didn't want this to happen
But we shouldn't feel sad
We had a good life together
Just remember all the times we had
You know I'll always love u
You know I'll always care
And no mater how far I may go
In my heart you'll always be there
And its hard to say goodbye my love
Its hard to see you cry my love
Its hard to open up that door when you're not sure what you're going for
But we've got to grow
We've got to try
Though its hard so hard
We have to say goodbye my love
We didn't make forever but I will always love you
We didn't make forever
But I will always love you
It's so hard
Baby its so hard
It's so hard
Baby its so hard
It's so hard
Baby its so hard
The song "Hard To Say Goodbye" by Beyonce Knowles, Sharon Leal, and Anika Noni Rose talks about the difficulty of parting ways with a loved one. The lyrics poignantly express the pain of separation between two people who have been together for a long time. The song starts with the acknowledgment that they did not make it forever and have to go their separate ways. The situation is so helpless that they are looking for something to say to each other.
The chorus of the song speaks of the difficulty of the moment- it's hard to say goodbye, it's hard to see you cry, and it's hard to open that door when you're not sure what you're going for. They both know that they had a good life together, and they should not be sad about the separation. The verse also reflects that, "But we've got to grow, we've got to try, though its hard so hard, we have to say goodbye, my love."
The song's emotional and heartbreaking message resonates with people who have lost someone they loved. It's a reminder that even though they didn't make it forever, the memories will always remain. It also highlights the importance of acknowledging the end of a relationship and understanding that growth is crucial even if it hurts to let go.

I wish groups broke up like this in real life
@Mimi4826
***** really? cool
@mirb2093
+PRPLRKL No they didn't. They put out a video they the other girls sung with new girls in the video. They even had a lawsuit filed against them
@shakirabigfanii
+Mir B That's not how they broke up; that's how the lineup changed. They broke up with a tribute concert, if I am correct. Rihanna and Patti Labelle performed.
@TrenijahG
Destiny Fulfilled: the album and tour. 👌
@shakyiasylvester545
