The Hardest Way

It was the night before I left I hope that this trip puts to rest The bitterness in my chest and the doubt in my spine I cannot recall any good reason at all For me to call you to see if you're doing alright This time last year we were lovers Now we're not even friends This time I learned the hardest way That we'll never be again But I'll never have to learn again It was the night before he left I hope that this trip puts to rest The war raging in his mind that keeps him up nights I can only speak for myself But this silence is feeding a well It's filling up fast with doubts that we'll make this alright This time last year we were strangers Now we're in love but we act more like friends This time I learned the hardest way That it's painful to love again But I'll never have to learn again It was the night before I left I hope that this trip puts to rest The bitterness in my chest and the doubt in my spine
