There's No Easy Way

I held her close to me
Coz I know she breaks so easily
And then I told her
But I knew no matter how I tried to console her

She'd do the best she could
But 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'll leave behind

When they fall apart
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart

I lied and told her she'll be fine
Though we both knew it was just a lie
I had to do it
Coz I had said anything to help me get through it

And she reached out for my hand
And her simple touch was more than I could stand
And I had to turn away coz I knew
All the hurt that she was feeling I was feeling too

When they fall apart
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'd come crawling on my knees to ask her back again
But she acted like a lady till 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
Coz her silence told me everything she could not say

When they fall apart
There is just no easy way
There's just no easy way
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart
