David Paich - There's No Easy Way lyrics

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 in 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 Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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'm 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 There's just no easy way Chorus: There's just no easy way There's just no easy way to break somebody's heart
