Hate to let you go Our life till now has been high drama in a show We both have given up on trying to make things right, all we do is fight, stuck in a hopeless plight I wish you wouldn’t go But wishful thinking’s not enough to make it so Now it’s time to say goodbye and part our ways, look for better days, but first I need to say … I hate to let you go Before we say goodbye there’s one thing you should know I always will remember everything we had, the good times and the bad, the happy and the sad … Hate to let you go Our lives in shambles but our memories still flow We tried to mend the rift but nothing ever works, our smiles turned into smirks, we both can be such jerks I wish you wouldn’t go but wishful thinking’s not enough to make it so Now it’s time to say goodbye and part our ways, look for better days, but first I need to say … I hate to let you go Before we say goodbye there’s one thing you should know I always will remember everything we had, the good times and the bad, the happy and the sad Hate to let you go …
