And That Was The Easy Part

I could barely breathe when you told me goodbye Thought my knees would go as you walked down the drive It was I could do to hold back the tears I whispered "I love you" guess you didn't hear As I watched you drive away I thought I'd die And that was the easy part As bad as it was Your goodbye didn't torture me Like your being gone does Facing my life alone Is where it really gets hard Watching you leave Bore a hole deep in me And that was the easy part 'She'll be back" That's what I told myself But the more I lied The less it seemed to help If you know how a man whose about to drown Feels the 3rd time he goes down Then you know how I was feeling The day you left And that was the easy part As bad as it was Your goodbye didn't torture me Like your being gone does Facing my life alone Is where it really gets hard Watching you leave Bore a hole deep in me That was the easy part Facing my life alone Is where it really gets hard Watching you leave Bore a hole deep in me That was the easy part --- And That Was the Easy Part - Joe Diffie
