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 longing 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 were I 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 content of the familiar kind of start

It’s easy, it’s easy

And though I’ll think about him until the earth
draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind
of love
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption
Redeemed in my allies and in the pantheon above

It’s easy, it’s easy, it’s easy as life
