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
