They couldn't have told me
  That it would be like this
  That it could be like this
  For you
    I wish I would have known
  That it could be like this
  That it would be like this
  For you
    I know you're hurting
  I know you're reaching out
  I'm sure you wonder what this is all about
  You couldn't sweat full, full words be known to you
  I'm sure you feel it
  You know I feel it too
    Sometimes the hardest things in life
  Are the things we have to do
  And even when we feel it's right
  I never want to hurt you
    It's never simple
  Deciding what should be
  There's still a void here
  When you're an absentee
  You could be angry
  But you're a bigger man
  We know you'll make it
  Never forget to stand
    Sometimes the hardest things in life
  Are the things we have to do
  And even when we feel it's right
  I never want to hurt you
    You have always been
  You always will
  You have always been a part of me
  You have always been a part of me
  You will always be a part of me
  You will always be a part of me
  You will always be a part of me
  You've always been a part
    The hardest things in life
  Are the things we have to do
  And even when we feel it's right
  I never want to hurt you
    Sometimes the hardest things in life
  Are the things we have to do
  And even when we feel it's right
  I never want to hurt you
