Hard to Say Goodbye
Sharon Leal 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
In these lyrics to Sharon Leal's song "Hard To Say Goodbye", the singer is expressing the difficulty of letting go of a relationship that has come to an end. The couple didn't plan for their love to stop, but now they have no choice but to go their separate ways, leaving them feeling helpless and lost for words. The singer acknowledges that they have been together for a long time and have always been close to each other. They have shared a good life together, and while the breakup is sad, they both should remember all the happy times they had.
The songwriter describes the tension of leaving someone or something familiar and comfortable behind, and how it feels almost impossible to know what's on the other side of that door.

Ultimately, the singer is expressing their love and care for the person they're leaving behind, even if they are no longer together.

We didn't make forever.
We each got to go our seperate way,
And now we're standing here, helpless,
Looking for something to say
We've been together a long time.
We never thought it would end.
We were always so close to each other;
You were always my friend.
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
Hard to see you cry, my love.
Hard to open up that door.
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, remember, all the times we had.
You'll know I'll always love you.
You'll know I'll always care.
And no matter how far I may go, In my hart, You'll always be there.
(It's so hard) And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
Hard to see you cry, my love.
Hard to open up that door.
You're not sure what you're going for.
We've got to work it, We've got to try,
Though it's hard, so hard We have to say good-bye
(Baby, it's so hard.) We didn't make forever.
But I’ll always love you
We didn't make forever.
But I’ll always love you
(Baby, it's so hard)

Looking for something to say.
We've been together a long time.
We never thought it would end.
We were always so close to each other;
You were always my friend.
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
It's hard to see you cry, my love.
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, remember, all the times we had.
You know I'll always love you
You know I'll always care
And know matter how far (far I may go) I may go,
In my heart, you'll always be there
(It's so hard) hard to say good-bye, my love.
(Baby, it's so hard) hard to see you cry, my love.
(It's so hard) hard to open up that door,
When you're not sure what you're going for.
(It's so hard.)
Good-bye my love.
(Baby, it's so hard.)
We didn't make forever.
It's so hard.
I can feel there's something more.
(When you're not sure what you're going for.)
We've gotta grow,
We've gotta try,
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say good-bye
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say
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 it's so hard
It's so hard.
Baby it's so hard.
