John Grant - It's Easier lyrics

I don't know who I thought I was
I guess I tried to love you
Because I thought I could afford
To take the risk and take a chance
I did not know who I thought I was fooling
I must have felt invincible in your arms
Like I could take the whole world on

But, it's easier for me to believe
That you are lying to me
When you say you love me and
When you say you need me
Yes, it's easier for me to walk away
And get on with my life
If I believed that you were deceiving me
If I believed that you'd be
Leaving me one day be leaving me one day
Be leaving me one day

I wish that I could make you see
But clearly that is not to be
Cause you will not be swayed by me
You've made it clear, you must be free
I would have sacrificed for you
I would have been so loyal and so true
But gifts this precious can't be
Offered up by fools

And it's easier for me to believe
That you are lying to me
When you say you love me and
When you say you need me
Yes, it's easier for me to walk away
And get on with my life
If I believed that you were deceiving me
If I believed that you'd be
Leaving me one day be leaving me one day
Be leaving me one day

What's done is done
I cannot change the way I feel
And what's more, i am certain that I don't
Regret a single thing
But sometimes I really miss your sweet
Sweet love and wish that I'd wake up
And this would all be just a dream

Yes, it's easier for me to believe
That you are lying to me
When you say you love me and
When you say you need me
Yes, it's easier for me to walk away
And get on with my life
If I believed that you were deceiving me
If I believed that you'd be
Leaving me one day be leaving me one day
Be leaving me one day
