"The Hardest Thing"

by Lester Norton

The Queen of Hearts unlocked the door
"Let in the teenage troubadour," she said
"I wanna hear him sing."

I asked her why. She turned away.
He breathed a sigh and took the stage alone
And he began to sing

All I ever wanted was to hold you
All you ever wanted wasn't me
The dreams I held inside and never told you
Tell me now to just let you go free

And it's the hardest thing

The Queen just smiled and closed the door
I walked across the sawdust floor and left
Into the empty lane

Now as the teenage troubadour
Strums his new guitar, I walk alone
In the pouring rain

All I ever wanted was to hold you
All you ever wanted wasn't me
The dreams I held inside and never told you
Tell me now to just let you go free

And it's the hardest thing
