Lyrics for Song: (It's Hard) Letting You Go
Lyrics for Album: These Days
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out on some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby
It's hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well, me, these days
I just miss you - It's the nights that I go insane
Unless you're coming back
For me, that's one thing I know that won't change
It's hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now sone tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
And we'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips
When I bet all that I had on you
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go

(It's Hard) Letting You Go
Released on the 1993 album These Days, this track stands as a poignant addition to Jon Bon Jovi's catalog, reflecting the emotional depth characteristic of his mid-career work. The song explores themes of departure and the difficulty of moving on, delivered with the signature rock energy that defined the era. It complements other notable recordings from this period, such as 'It's My Life' and 'Never Say Goodbye', which also appeared on the same album. While often associated with the broader success of Slippery When Wet, this track demonstrates a more introspective side to Bon Jovi's songwriting, balancing melodic hooks with a narrative of personal struggle. The recording captures the transition from his early power ballad style to a more polished, radio-friendly rock sound that would continue to define his discography through the late 1990s. |
