Easy As Life |
This is the moment when the gods expect me To beg for help but I won’t even try |
I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me But I won’t lie down, roll over and die |
All I have to do is to forget how much I love him |
All I have to do is put my longing to one side |
Tell myself that love’s an ever-changing situation |
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died |
It’s easy, it’s easy |
All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him |
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart |
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding |
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start |
It’s easy, it’s easy |
Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him |
And how he would have been were I to be with him today |
Those very rare occasions, don’t let up, they keep on coming |
All I ever wanted and I’m throwing it away |
It’s easy, it’s easy as life |
And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people |
A father and a nation who won’t let a coward run |
Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages? |
Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we’ve done |
Are easy, so easy |
And though I’ll think about him until the earth draws in around me And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love |
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption |
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above |
It’s easy, it’s easy as life |
It’s easy as life |
It’s easy as life |
