|
I held her close to me
|
I know she breaks so easily
|
And then I told her
|
Though I knew no matter how I try to console her
|
She would do the best she could
|
There are times the best is no damn good
|
And no matter how you try to be kind
|
There's always still a part of you
|
You leave behind
|
And when it falls apart
|
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart
|
|
I lied and told her she'd be fine
|
Though we both we knew it was just a line
|
I had to do it
|
I'd 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
|
And then it falls apart
|
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart
|
|
I wanted her to hurt me
|
And make me feel like a guilty child
|
Well I realized that never was her style
|
I wanted her hurt me
|
Not treat me like a friend
|
Well I wanted her to say there'd be someday
|
I'd come crawling on my knees and ask her back again
|
But she acted like a lady till the end
|
Oh, what a lady
|
|
Well I thought that she'd break down
|
But she smiled at me and never made a sound
|
And I guess she understood of the way
|
'Cause her silence told me everything she could not say
|
And when it falls apart
|
Well there's just no easy way
|
And there's just no easy way
|
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart
|
