Lyrics:

The Hardest Thing

Oya E Dide Erori -3x

You know the hardest thing is to say goodbye to someone you love

That is the hardest thing

And when the curtain rises and the party begins

Do you laugh?

Do you break down inside

Wondering how

How you got to the afterlife?

Orange County

You know the hardest thing is to say goodbye to someone you love That’s the hardest thing x2

Every face you forgot

Father’s jaw

They suspend the clock

Another start

Get another chance to love

I hear you now, I understand you lost today to get tomorrow back but

But what are the tolls?

That’s the hardest thing we’ve been sold

And I’m not your enemy

Your legacy frightens me will I keep it gold or will it spoil

Before I get the chance to grow old

I don’t know if I can take this anymore

So why are you trying to break me?

I don’t know if I can stay on board (I’m on board)

You know the hardest thing is to say goodbye to someone you love

That’s the hardest thing

And I’m not your enemy

Your legacy frightens me will I keep it gold or will it spoil

Before I get the chance to grow old

You know the hardest thing is to say goodbye to someone you love

That’s the hardest thing

‘Cause I’m not your enemy

Your atoms gone

You stand alone

And everything you gave to someone you love

That’s the hardest thing

That’s the hardest thing

I don’t know if I can take this anymore

So why are you trying to break me?
