It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do 
Leavin' here without you 
And the second hardest thing I'll ever do 
It's tellin' her about you 
She's been good to me 
When things were going rough 
How can I tell her now 
That good ain't good enough 
The hardest thing I'll ever have to do 
And it's holdin' her and lovin' you 
If she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone 
But she ain't done one thing wrong 
So don't expect me just to walk out of the door 
I still love her but I love you more 
She's been good to me 
When things weren't goin' right 
She made my days 
Long before you made my nights 
The hardest thing I'll ever have to do 
Is holdin' her and lovin' you 
Yeah the hardest thing I'll ever have to do 
Is holdin' her lovin' you 
Girl the hardest thing I'll ever have to do 
Is holdin' her lovin' you
