I held her close to me
Cause I knew shed break so easily
And then I told her
But I knew no matter how I tried to console her
Shed just do the best she could
But there are times the best is no damn good
And no matter how you try to be kind
Theres always still a part of you you leave behind
When it falls apart
Theres no easy way to break somebodys heart
I lied and told her shed be fine
Though we both knew that it was just a line
I had to do it
Cause Id have 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
Theres no easy way to break somebody?s heart
She couldve 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 thered be some day
Id come crawling on my knees to ask her back again
But she acted like a lady till the end
Oh, what a lady
I thought that shed break down
But she smiled at me and never made a sound
And I guess understood in her way
Cause her silence told me everything she could not say
When it falls apart
Well, theres just no easy way Theres just no easy way
Theres no easy way to break somebodys heart
