I'm gonna live my life Like every day's the last Without a simple goodbye It all goes by so fast And now that you're gone I can't cry hard enough No, I can't cry hard enough For you to hear me now Gonna open my eyes And see for the first time I've let go of you like A child letting go of his kite There it goes up in the sky There it goes beyond the clouds For no reason why I can't cry hard enough No, I can't cry hard enough For you to hear me now Gonna look back in vain And see you standing there When all that remains Is an empty chair And now that you're gone I can't cry hard enough No, I can't cry hard enough For you to hear me now There it goes up in the sky There it goes beyond the clouds For no reason why I can't cry hard enough No, I can't cry hard enough For you to hear me now And now that you're gone I can't cry hard enough No, I can't cry hard enough For you to hear me now
