Easier

I woke up early and I can see the light
My back is broad but it’s been a long and lonely night
What if I’m a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when all we had is dying

Like moving shadows we dance around remains
The burning embers illuminate my shame
So yes, I am a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when all we had is dying

It’s easier to leave, not to face the pain
With everything to lose, nothing left to gain
Broken, empty promises you made
Token, empty gestures that you make
I am really, really easier to leave
So you walked away with everything to lose
There’s nothing left to say You disappoint me with a tutor’s kiss
Ground and anoint me, the poison pours from your lips
So yes, I am a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when all we had is dying

It’s easier to leave, not to face the pain
With everything to lose, nothing left to gain
Broken, empty promises you made
Unspoken, did you ever mean to stay
I am really, really, ooh, yeah

So yes, I am a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when all we had is dying
I am that fool that’s still trying
To right the wrongs when all we had is dying

It’s easier to leave, so you walked away
With everything to lose, there’s nothing left to say
Your broken, empty promises you gave
Token, empty gestures that you made
Unspoken, did you ever mean to stay
I am really, really, I am really, I am betrayed
