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
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
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
oh there's just no easy way
there's just no easy way
there's just no easy way
to break somebody's heart
