Trying To Say Goodbye

Many's the time I've been moved or inclined
To write maybe a song 'bout love
Taking the words as they come to my mind
And I send them along with my love

Just me and a melody
Sailing peacefully along
Always right with the world and me
Until love went wrong

Just yesterday I heard somebody say
I'd forget you
If I could, but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way
I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye

Casually dressed, I'm surviving I guess
I guess only the time will tell
It don't really matter much where I go next
Just as long as it turns out well

Slow feet on a moving street
And the folks I meet all know
I ain't half as happy as I was a week ago

Just yesterday I heard somebody say
I'd forget you
If I could, but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way
I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Oh yes, but it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Alright, but it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
