Lyrics

And the hardest part
Was   go, not taking part
Was the hardest part

And the   thing
Was waiting for that   to ring
It was the strangest  

I could   it go down
Bittersweet, I could taste in my  
Silver lining the  
Oh and I
I wish that I could   it out

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not   part
You really   my heart

And I   to  
But I couldn't   of anything
And that was the hardest part

I could feel it go down
You left the   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   is wrong
Everything I do, it just comes  
And everything is torn  

Oh and that's the hardest part
That's the hardest part
Yeah that's the hardest part
That's the hardest part
Legend
