There's No Easy Way

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 damn 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've 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 come 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
