It's the hardest thing
It's the hardest thing to do…
But it's the smartest thing
It's the smartest thing for me and you

It's the lesser of two ways to say goodbye
We can't say it face to face
So we slowly let it die

Chorus:
Been a long, long way…
Been a long, long way from where we were
To where we are, right now
Been a long, long way…
Been a long, long way from where we were
To where we are
But here we are…

It's the smallest thing
The smallest things you used to do…
Don't know what to call this thing
Don't know what to call this thing we're going through

It's the lesser of two ways to compromise…
Cut my nose to spite my face,
But at least I've got my pride
