Easier -

If you woke and I was gone

From the house that 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 know

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 learned to lie

I learned to grow

I learned to hold it for awhile and let it go

I learned to take

I learned 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 someplace else

And if I were someone else

And if I were not myself, would this be easier?

I’m at a loss for better plans

'Cause this is all 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

That it gets easier
