Why Should We Take the Easy Way Out?

[Verse 1]
If I say goodbye
Then I won't have to cry again
If you turn your back
Then you won't have to try again

[Chorus 1]
Oh, darlin'
Why should we take the easy way out?
Why should we take the easy way out?
There's so much to save
If we're brave, and we just hold on

[Verse 2]
We've had some fights
And for nights we've been cooler than friends
But if we part
They'll be no way of making amends

[Chorus 2]
Oh, darlin'
Why should we take the easy way out?
Why should we take the easy way out?
We're on the brink
But just think of what we can lose

[Bridge]
I love you
I need you
And I know that you need me
If you plant an inch today
I'll be glad to meet ya half way

[Verse 3]
We've made it this far along
But there's further to go
Love has to stumble
Before it can get up and grow

[Chorus 1]
Oh, darlin'
Why should we take the easy way out?
Why should we take the easy way out?
There's so much to save
If we're brave, and we just hold on

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 1]
Oh, darlin'
Why should we take the easy way out?
Why should we take the easy way out?
There's so much to save
If we're brave, and we just hold on

[Outro]
There's so much to save
If we're brave, and we just hold on
There's so much to save
If we're brave, and we just hold on...
