There's No Easy Way

作词 : Barry Mann

作曲 : Barry Mann

I held her close to me '

Cause I know she breaks so easily

And then I told her

But I knew no matter how

I tried to console her

She'd just do the best she could

But there are times the best in no damn good

And no matter how you try to be kind

There's always still a part of you you leave behind

When it falls apart [Chorus:]

There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

I lied and told her she'd be fine

Though we both knew it was just a line

I had to do it '

Cause I'd a' said anything to help me get through it

Then she reached out for my hand

And her simple touch was more than

I could stand

And I had to turn away '

Cause I knew all the hurt

That she was feeling

I was feeling too '

Cause when it falls apart [Chorus:]

There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

She could've gotten angry

And made me feel like a guilty child

But I realized that never was her style

I wanted her to hurt me

And not treat me like a friend

I wanted her to say there'd be someday

I'm come crawling on my knees to ask her back again

But she acted like a lady 'til the end

Oh, what a lady

I thought that she'd break down

But she smiled at me and never made a sound

And I guess she understood in her way

Cause her silence told me everything she could not say

When it falls apart

There's just no easy way [Chorus:]

There's just no easy way

There's just no easy way to break somebody's heart.
