Easier

Lisa Stansfield

I woke up early
And I can't 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 made 
I am reeling, reeling
Easier to leave
So you walked away With everything to lose 
There's nothing left to say

You disappoint me With a Judas kiss 
Crown and anoint me 
The poison pours from your lips 
So yes, I am a fool for even trying 
To right the wrongs when ail 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 made 
I am reeling, reeling
Easier to leave
So you walked away With everything to lose 
There's nothing left to say

Broken
Empty Promises you gave 
Token
Empty gestures that you made 
Unspoken
did you ever mean to stay 
I am reeling, reeling
I am reeling
I am betrayed
