The curtain falls sooner or later
The time has come to take a bow
This is a part I play by heart
No need to hear a second call
No need to ask me why
No need to sit and cry
It's so hard to say goodbye
To everything that you've known
It's so hard to say goodbye
When all your friends are split in two
And what's left is only half of what was you
It's so hard to say goodbye
You try and forget but only remember
Those little things you never thought you would
You try to find what's left behind
But there's nothing left when you strike the set
Nothing but empty chairs
Nothing but silent stairs
It's so hard to say goodbye
To everywhere that you've been
It's so hard to say goodbye
When nothing's left but broken dreams
And your heart is tearing at the seams of what's left
There's nothing left but goodbye
Sometimes late at night I awake
I reach for you but there's nothing to take
Back into my sleep I'll drift alone
Broken hearts mend when life is a stage
And the plot is set, and the audience knows
It's make-believe, the hero's reprieve
Is surely just around the bend
But this time it's fade to black
This time there's no turning back
It's so hard to say goodbye
To everything that you've known
It's so hard to say goodbye
When all your friends are split in two
And what's left is only half of what was you
It's so hard to say goodbye
