Easy As Life

This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help, but I won't even try
I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die

All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my loving to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled, and all the magic would have died

It's easy
It's easy

Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him
And how he would have been, will like to be with him today
Tender in his manner and myself consolation
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

It's easy
It's easy as life

All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar can not start

It's easy
It's easy

And though I think about him 'til the earth draws in around me
And so I choose to leave him for another kind of love
Oh, this is no denial, no betrayal but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes, and in the pantheon above

It's easy
It's easy
It's easy as life
