Coldplay - the hardest part

이 노래는 이별의 과정에서 겪는 아픔과 혼란을 담고 있으며, 상대방과의 소중한 기억이 남아 bittersweet한 감정을 불러일으킨다
주인공은 마음의 상처를 느끼고, 이별 후 누군가를 그리워하며 상황을 되돌아보려는 복잡한 감정을 표현하고 있다
결국 그가 진정으로 원하는 것은 서로의 관계를 회복하는 것이다

And the hardest part was letting go, not taking part
Was the hardest part
And the strangest thing was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start
I could feel it go down
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the clouds
Oh, and I
I wish that I could work it out
And the hardest part was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart, oh
And I tried to sing, but I couldn't think of anything
And that was the hardest part, oh, oh
I can feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
Your silver lining the clouds
Oh, and I
Oh and I, I wonder what it's all about
I wonder what it's all about
