We both know that I shouldn't be here
This is wrong
And, baby, it's killing me, it's killing you
Both of us tryin' to be strong
I've got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
And someone else who loves me
And trusts me fast asleep
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
Chorus
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye and tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry
I can't let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart's not free
We're not meant to be
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
I know that we'll meet again
Fate has a place and time
So you can get on with your life
I've got to be cruel to be kind
Like Dr. Zhivago
All my love I'll be sending
And you will never know
'Cause there can be no happy ending
Chorus
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye and tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry
I can't let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart's not free
We're not meant to be
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to, I can't stay
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
[Chorus]
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do(oo eyah)
To look you in the eye and tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry(oh baby I)
I can't let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart's not free
We're not meant to be(oo)
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
Don't wanna live a lie
What to do
Oh yeah [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/98_degrees/the_hardest_thing.html ]

The song is about love. When a man can't say this feeling to his girl exactly. Something that he save alone. I think it hurts him ('n his girl too,of course). Complicated feeling. Being honestly is the best choice.

The song is about two people in love but in the wrong place. They both love the loving part but the reality of true partners is not there, and it's hard to say you do not love the person but you have your real relationship that you can't let go.

The song is about an ex lover coming back to a guy who is already in another relationship. He still loves his ex, but he has a girl who is good to him and that loves him, and he doesn't want to hurt the girl he is currently with- so he is staying with her.

The hardest thing to do is to tell someone you're not in love with him/her whereas you're feeling the opposite. Most of the time this has something to do with timing. =)
The hardest thing is that you still have to do the right thing even it cause you pain and unhappiness. The hardest thing is to let your loveone cried and suffered but still need to let go for other people's sake. The hardest thing is concealing your true feelings and do nothing cause you are not meant to be
