I've tried to let you down so easy
I'd like to still be just a friend
We shared such memories together
But all good things come to an end

And you shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
No, you shouldn't take it so hard

You shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
No, you shouldn't take it so hard

You wonder when you're gonna see me
I might just pass this way again
Until then don't you wait up for me
'Cause now I'm gettin' in the wind

But you shouldn't take it so hard
No, you shouldn't take it so hard
No, you shouldn't take it so hard

You shouldn't take it so hard
No, you shouldn't take it so hard
You know you shouldn't take it so hard

Don't you remember what I told you from the start
When people fall in love too much
It can cause a broken heart that won't mend easy
But if you just wait sometime
I may come walkin' to you in the sunshine

You shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
No, you shouldn't take it so hard

Grass is growin' and I got to be a-goin'

You shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
You shouldn't take it so hard
