And the hardest part Was letting go, not taking part Was the hardest part And the strangest thing Was waiting for that bell to ring It was the strangest start I could feel it go down Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth Silver lining the cloud Oh and I I wish that I could work it out And the hardest part Was letting go, not taking part You really broke my heart, oh And I tried to sing But I couldn't think of anything And that was the hardest part, oh I could feel it go down You left the sweetest taste in my mouth You're silver lining the clouds Oh and I Oh and I I wonder what it's all about I wonder what it's all about Everything I know is wrong Everything I do, it's just comes undone And everything is torn apart Oh and it's the hardest part That's the hardest part Yeah that's the hardest part That's the hardest part
