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 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 learned to lie, I learned to grow

I learned to hold it for a while 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 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

That it gets easier
