They say breaking up is the hardest part
All the upheaval just cracks the heart
There's so much stress it may never end
Unknown futures lie around every bend

​

Discarding the old and searching for the new
Not the easiest thing for anyone to do
And some can't cope with all the pain
As their life ebbs away down an emotional drain

​

It's a time in your life when you have to be strong
To stand up and face everything that goes wrong
Fight back the waves of emotion that threaten to break out
Make sure it's a decision you will never doubt

​

If things go wrong that can't be put right
Just admit defeat and give up the fight
Don't be a slave to carnal sin
When there's a new life waiting for you to begin

​

Don't stagnate in an existence that's not true
Make the decision that's best for you
The tunnel of light is the way ahead
So step inside if your relationship is dead
