    Backstory:
    They know they have to go their separate ways, but it is difficult to let go.  Music by Jim Kelly (UK)  & Raul Barba (Argentian), Lyrics by Clare Steffen (US), Vocals by Jim Kelly & Clare Steffen. Music Production by Raul Barba as a part of the Round The Glob project.  The lyric (mostly the chorus) came from a poem I wrote when I was 13 and leaving one school to start another.  We were given an assignment to write a poem, and some of the lyrics have stayed with me all these years, and I just changed the situation to apply it to a song about a couple going their separate ways.

    Lyrics:
                                                      
    V1 It's the middle of the night I'm still not sleeping Something here ain't right I can't stop thinking Bridge Funny isn't it, funny isn't it So hard to admit V2 I wish you didn't have to leave Comfort is a stranger to me It's natural to grieve My eyes are open but I still can't see Bridge You can't change destiny Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be Chorus Funny isn't it? That we have to go our separate ways To see what the future holds Leave tomorrow behind, it'll be OK Don't worry, a new life will unfold Change takes time You just can't push or force it It might be a steep climb But we don't need to feel desperate V3 Ain't that the way that love goes Just when you think you've got it all There is a time we would have chosen Just to stay together, now as I recall Bridge You can't dream your troubles away The only thing I can think to say Chorus Funny isn't it? That we have to go our separate ways To see what the future holds Leave tomorrow behind, it'll be OK Don't worry, a new life will unfold Change takes time You just can't push or force it It might be a steep climb But we don't need to feel desperate Outro' Funny isn't it Maybe we can both let go with love Funny isn't it, funny isn't it
