Bad news travels fast

This is the hardest thing by far
That I have ever had to do
To stand in front of you
Tell you that I am leaving
After all good time we've shared

This is the longest night of all
It wasn't meant to be this way
I had it down so clear
Now it's all in pieces
After all the love we had

That's just the way it has to be
I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for me
I turned it over in my mind
So many times, so many times
Had I thought that I should be the one to tell you
Or you've got it back from someone else
Good news gets there last
Bad news travels fast

This just may be my darkest hour
And I'm no good at long goodbyes
I tried to be so brave
But I keep getting weaker
After all the love we've shared

That's just the way it has to be
I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for me
I've looked at us from every side
Enough is enough it's time to divide
Better say goodbye with some love left between us
Face the faith before the rumor start to lie
Good news gets there last
Bad news travels fast
