Bon Jovi - (It's Hard) Letting You Go Lyrics






It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out
On some one-way trip

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby

It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go

Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days
I just miss you - it's the nights that I go insane
Unless you're coming back for me
That's one thing I know that won't change

It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go

Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
And we'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips
When I bet all that I had on you

It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go

    Listen on 0.75 and it makes you want to hang yourself D:

  2. R.... S....

    I remembered my dad playing this song for my grandpa’s funeral. It wasn’t the same every time we hear this song. It was my grandpa’s favorite song from the album 😞

  3. s.... s....

    ❤️❤️❤️me encantas❤️❤️❤️

  4. G.... D....

    Esta canción la escuche por primera vez en casete y estaba incompleta, , faltaba la parte final con la guitarra que da al termino de la canción,,cuando compre el disco, recién supe que la canción era mas extensa,,,tenia el final con ese solo maravilloso que Sambora le había implementado ---me quede pasmado al escucharla completa, grandes recuerdos y grande BOJOVI

  5. N.... U....

    Almost 25 years since launched and still the best album I've listened...

    N.... U....

    I still listen to this tune these days :))

    My fav....

  7. N.... S....

    I was stuck on the hope that maybe we be together and might have some future scope. But, as I woke up and saw as if I was smoking dope, so let us cherish that thought and that maybe next lifetime we will be able to cherish the love that we had inside deep. Now as the creepers to you creep and you give up to this worldly life that is engraved inside you so deep. Me a looser still not able to get his act together, to you looks so broke n cheap, so let us make a decision that the knife does not cut the heart slowly in the name of hope that comes back now and then as a creep. The hurt slowly like a slow poison gives the chills and this hope is the deadliest weapon that is destroying my soul making the pain more and more deep. No longer I will let it creep, no longer I will wish to fulfill the wish that never came true even the love was true and deep. Let bygone be bygones and lets put an end to this hope that gives the pain that day by day turns more and more deep. I am gonna cut this arm that is hurting me like cancer so my entire body doesn't get destroyed by this cancer creep...It will hurt for a day or a week but in time we will forget once we move on to decide that no longer we will hope for something that wish that will never be fulfilled due to whatever reasons you or I may say, but it is due to the insecurities that inside us both run deep...all the best to you I will pray for your health, wealth and all your wishes to come true and that angels protect you when you sleep. Salute to you my soul mate from a past life maybe in the next one we will come together and on my arms, like a pillow you will lay your head and have a good sound sleep....:) Till then I will not to your pictures and thoughts ever creep...God will give me the strength to let go of the true love that I had in this naive heart run so deep....:) Adios Amigos I promise you no longer I will peep or creep...I can feel when you think of me or when sadness crawls to you deep but I will shut it all down everything that runs no matter how deep...i wil not creep and it will dry this river of love that runs deep....

    2019 y me sigue haciendo llorar esta canción

  9. J.... N....

    One of the greatest albums ever made!

  10. C.... C....

    Not a bad song in this LP

    Uma poesia, Um pouco do quê é bom de ouvir do grupo que contangiu uma época com seus versos românticos em suas canções...uma vez Bon Jovi , Always Bon Jovi

  15. t.... ....

    one of my favourite jovi songs! love it!!! <3

  16. A.... B....

    (it's hard)letting you go is definitely my favourite song on Bon Jovi(These Days)CD and all the other songs are very good Allan Black1977. Allan Black

  17. F.... B....

    🥺❣ I love so much!

  18. A.... z....

    Its hard so hard..

  19. D.... M....

    This song hits my feels into a dimension words can't describe. That's the kind of artist Bon Jovi is. Timeless and heartfelt music that easily stands the test of time.

  20. g.... k....

    Too SLOW

  21. s.... ....

    Es cristiana esta puta canción, eso es lo que no me gusta.

  22. b.... ....

    BEST JOVI'S SONG!

  23. f.... g....

    I used to have the cassete of this album. Unfortunately it was broken because of the flood.

  24. D.... ....

    Madonna probably copied some sense of this and turned it into, "The Power Of Goodbye", which is totally different and also a cool song

  25. B.... H....

    My wife just left.....it"s hard

  26. M.... S....

    Bon Jovi “ it’s hard letting you go” live 2010 proshot . It’s titled the acoustic version

  27. M.... S....

    Such a beautiful song! “These days I just miss you. It’s the night that I go insane “ beautiful lyrics. There’s a live acoustic version on here that’s amazing if you haven’t seen it yet.

  28. L.... M....

    2018❤️❤️

  29. K.... D....

    Amo essa música 💓

  30. M.... S....

    Anyone who dislikes this song is happy in first time love lol

  31. T.... ....

    The deeper, darker side to Bonjovi. They’re not all about the hook driven commercial stuff. Love this album as it shows the much darker side.

  32. k.... t....

    Bon Jovi - These Days 100/100 best album in the world!

  33. N.... S....

    In my opinion, the greatest album of the 90’s. It is a total impossibility that Jon Bon Jovi wasn’t in a dark place. You simply cannot write such beautiful poetic words if life is all money and fame. This album humbles me. It grounds me and makes me take stock of my life and what’s important and what is completely insignificant . The album is 23 years old and still it is helping me cope today and is guiding me as if it were the hands of god pushing me into a world of recovery through each painful, yet hopeful lyric . This album came out when I was in 11th grade and nothing in music since has eclipsed such magic through song.

    N.... S....

    Jon and the band insist that they were as happy as a bunch of clams, but yeah. The album rocks.

    N.... S....

    is any thinking man truly happy in the modern world? impossible...

    N.... S....

    Most songs were written with Richie too though. Unless they were both in a darker place at the same time.

    N.... S....

    I couldn’t agree more!!!

    N.... S....

    Nicholas S Beautifully said. Jon Bon Jovi needs to read your comments; I think he’d like them. Hope you are doing well.

  41. L.... ....

    I love how time put this album in its place as one of the most beloved amongs the fans.

    I started listening to this band since I was a kid, with Slippery when wet, I was there when they were ultra popular with the glam rock and all that stuff, but my favorite albums from this band alwais have been Keep the Faith and specially These Days.

    When I heard this album for the first time back in the days, I knew inmediately that this album was special.

  42. A.... D....

    Reminds me of my first true love for a girl 20 years ago 😟

  43. L.... A....

  51. U.... M....

    This song is absolutely magical, only Bon Jovi could create something like this...
    Its hard, so hard, it's tearing off my heart, letting you go... ;(

  52. O.... J....

    This album and the "Crossroad" are the best.

  53. A.... R....

    Simplemente Bon Jovi, sin duda el mejor disco

  54. E.... V....

    the song I heard the day me grandmother died, today 20 years ago.

  55. e.... a....

    reminds me my night travels...I used to listen to this album while passing by the cities...

    e.... a....

    so true

    e.... a....

    I bet it was such an awsome experience. I remember listen to this album late at night watching through the window, it was 1995 as far as I can recall...

    e.... a....

    @guitarrivera Same here. Yes, 1995

  56. e.... a....

    This album is magical !

  57. R.... N....

    I have so many memories with this album

    R.... N....

    Restyarno Nugroho same

    R.... N....

    Dito😥☹️

  58. M.... T....

    The Best Music!

  59. O.... M....

    Cuantos recuerdos, como viví ese disco! cuando es un chico normal de 13 años que quiere ser especial, escucha este disco y lo llena de tanta esperanza en la vida ! que disco tan esperanzador!!! increible que hayan pasado ya 21 años desde el lanzamiento.

    O.... M....

    Os Musick Es mi favorito de BJ, lo compré cuando iba en la prepa y me marcó mucho, ahora es una nostalgia y buenos recuerdos escucharlo, saludos.

    O.... M....

    Esperanzador?? Está impregnado del espíritu decadente de mediados de los 90 cuando el grunge triunfaba y la crisis económica lanzaba mucha gente al desempleo...atmósfera que intenta capturar en este disco de ahí el título "Estos días" (en referencia a que son más duros que los felices 80)

    O.... M....

    @jomicamp Creo que se referia a la musica (Sonidos,) mas no a las letras xd

  60. c.... ....

    O melhor album do Bon Jovi.......sou fan a 21 anos !!

    c.... ....

    Eu a 25, não tem como não ouvir todos os dias essa banda.

  61. c.... s....

    Melhor album

  62. m.... ....

    The most achieved album

  63. r.... p....

    the slowest song in the album for me.....next!

    r.... p....

    rakistang pinoy might be but this song is full of emotion

    r.... p....

    oh yeah! i like that song "emotion" by the Bee Gees!

    r.... p....

    rakistang pinoy you should listen to too much heaven by the bee gees

    r.... p....

    some idiot in the need to call the attention...

  64. S.... G....

    Didn't take long for them to become completely sappy and hopelessly romantic. They were awesome for the first four years then they got struck by a cupid and became lame.

  65. t.... ....

    i have commented on another video about that lyric, the neighbours dog don,t bark like he used to,absolute killer. something magic happened with this album that the y never recaptured. they came close with lost highway but this whole album is perfect.

    t.... ....

    It was the depressive and heartbroken atmosphere.

    t.... ....

    Lost Highway? That's your #2? I mean, yeah, it's okay, but my favorites are the debut album and Keep The Faith.

  66. M.... E....

    Now this is their 'Hallejulah'!

    M.... E....

    I was thinking the same thing

  67. N.... D....

    One of the Best songs I've ever heard. I have done a drum cover of this wonderful song.

  68. d.... ....

    this whole album was great

  69. C.... R....

    That's definitely true. Jon was interviewed recently on the Oprah Winfrey Network and he said that.

  70. R.... ....

    I think the way Jon writes....he purposely leaves the lyrics ambiguous so they can relate to many people and many situations

  71. E.... ....

    One dislike.. nice try Bieber...!!

  72. E.... ....

    How the h*ll isn't this song on greatest hits? O.o

  73. C.... R....

    @potcoog I personally don't know. I think it can definitely apply to someone who has passed away but I think it can also apply to a divorce that ended ugly.

    C.... R....

    Chris R it is about someone who passed away, "and told me you were leaving me for some organ grinders lullaby". organ grinder is someone who works in a morgue or someone who works with dead bodies.

    C.... R....

    Chris R I've always thought that it was about someone trying to move on after their wife has died, from the line "leaving me to some organ grinder's lullaby", since an organ grinder is associated with death. And since the speaker wants to "burn down this place that we called home", and you make a home with your spouse. And especially since he "bet all he had" - when you get married you think it's forever, and he didn't consider that he'd have to move on from her. This could be just me though.

  74. R.... G....

    they should just officially replace Alec John Such with Hugh McDonald its not like Alec is still recording and playing live anymore

  75. J.... B....

    @kenster153, UNDERATED, but in my opinion, one of the best :)

  76. k.... ....

    also one of the most underated albums ever..

    k.... ....

    kenster153 Damn 7 years ago

    k.... ....

    last time i got this album cassette in 1994....so great album.

  77. k.... ....

    Love this song reminds me of being in middle school and remembering my grandpa

  78. A.... K....

    These Days ist mal ein absolutes Hammer-Album!!! Wer es nicht hat: besorgen!!! Just love all their songs on the album.

  79. O.... ....
