There's No Easy Way(Complete version originally performed by James Ingram)
I held her close to me
- I held her close to me
- 'Cause I know she breaks so easily
- And then I told her
- But I knew no matter how I tried to console her
- She'd just do the best she could
- But there are times the best is no d**n good
- And no matter how you try to be kind
- There's always still a part of you you leave behind
- 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 knew it was just a line
- I had to do it
- 'Cause I'd a' 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
- 'Cause when it falls 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 be crawling on my knees to ask her back again
- But she acted like a lady 'til 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
- 'Cause her silence told me everything she could not say
- When it falls apart
- Well there's just no easy way
- There's just no easy way
- There's no easy way to break
- Somebody's heart
