  • You know the hardest thing
    Is to say goodbye to someone you love
    That's the hardest thing

    You know the hardest thing
    Is to say goodbye to someone you love
    That's the hardest thing

    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 the day to get tomorrow back
    But what of the toll?
    That's the hardest thing we've been through

    I'm not your enemy
    Your legacy frightens me
    Will I keep it gold
    Or will it spoil
    Before I get the chance to go?
    I don't know if I can take this anymore
    So why you tryna break me?
    I don't know if I can stay on boards (on boards, on boards)

    You know the hardest thing
    Is to say goodbye to someone you love
    That's the hardest thing

    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?

    You know the hardest thing
    Is to say goodbye to someone you love
    That's the hardest thing

    And I'm not your enemy
    You're out and gone, you stand alone, and everything you gave
    To someone you love
    That's the hardest thing
    That's the hardest thing

    That's the hardest thing

    I don't know if I can take this anymore
    So why you trying to break me?

    That's the hardest thing Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Gonzalo Conde, Kara Jackson, Santiago Alvarado
