There’s No Easy Way

[00:14.72] I held her close to me
[00:19.82] 'Cause I know she breaks so easily
[00:24.58] And then I told her
[00:27.57] But I knew no matter how I tried to console her
[00:33.24] She'd just do the best she could
[00:36.76] But there are times the best is no damn good
[00:41.75] And no matter how you try to be kind
[00:48.04] There's always still a part of you you leave behind
[00:55.40] When it falls apart
[00:59.16] There's no easy way to break somebody's heart
[01:06.46]
[01:10.61] I lied and told her she'd be fine
[01:16.17] Though we both knew it was just a line
[01:20.74] I had to do it
[01:23.68] 'Cause I'd've said anything to help me get through it
[01:29.11] Then she reached out for my hand
[01:33.14] And her simple touch was more than I could stand
[01:38.92] And I had to turn away
[01:42.41] 'Cause I knew all the hurt
[01:45.56] That she was feeling I was feeling too
[01:50.76] 'Cause when it falls apart
[01:55.35] There's no easy way to break somebody's heart
[02:03.11] She could've gotten angry
[02:06.77] And made me feel like a guilty child
[02:10.82] But I realized that never was her style
[02:16.09] I wanted her to hurt me
[02:21.63] And not treat me like a friend
[02:26.13] I wanted her to say there'd be someday
[02:29.37] I'd come crawling on my knees to ask her back again
[02:35.69] But she acted like a lady 'til the end
[02:42.30] Oh, what a lady
[02:45.35]
[02:48.51] I thought that she'd break down
[02:53.42] But she smiled at me and never made a sound
[02:58.22] And I guess she understood in her way
[03:04.70] 'Cause her silence told me everything she could not say
[03:11.99] When it falls apart
[03:15.86] Well there's just no easy way
[03:19.96] There's just no easy way
[03:23.54] There's no easy way to break somebody's heart
[03:33.47]
