Charley Pride - Taking the Easy Way Out lyrics

Letting me down easy would be
The lovin' thing to do
You could take it step by step till
I get used to losin' you
Now I can't really blame you
If the feeling has disappeared
But you won't even look me in the eye

Oh you're takin' the easy way out
Takin' the easy way out
At least you could've told me a lie
But you're takin' the easy way out
Takin' the easy way out
Not even sayin' goodbye

It may be hard to face me but it's
Twice as hard to watch you go
Goodbyes are never easy but you
Could have let me know
Now I don't mean to criticize you I'm
Not tryin' to put you down
I just thought that you would
Be a little kinder

Oh but you're takin' the easy way
Out takin' the easy way out
At least you could've told me a lie
But you're takin' the easy way out
Takin' the easy way out
Not even sayin' goodbye
