If you woke and I was gone
from the house we made our home,
Would it bend you, break you,
overtake your heart like it did my own?
And if I were someplace else,
And if I were someplace else,
And if I were someplace else
Would this be easier?
The only peace I have ever known
is the peace I made with you.
I won't move, but I can't stay here,
so what the hell am I supposed to do?
And if I were someone else,
And if I were someone else,
And if I were someone else
Would this be easier?
I try to keep it in my head
The need to leave this empty bed
And be nobody instead
Because it's easier
I'll learn to lie,
I'll learn to grow,
I'll learn to hold it for a while and let it go.
I'll learn to take,
I'll learn to keep -
Please tell me someday I'll at least be able to sleep.
Please tell me someday I'll at least be able to sleep.
And if I were someone else,
And if I were someplace else,
If I were not myself,
Would this be easier?
I'm at a loss for better plans,
'cause this is all that I have,
so I'll just close my eyes and try to pretend
that it gets easier,
that it gets easier,
that it gets easier.
