Heather Headley - 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 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
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 cannot start
It's easy, It's easy
Until I think about him as
he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been
were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions
don't let up they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy as life
But then I saw the faces of a worn ,
defeated people
A father and a nation who won't
let a coward run
is this how the gods reward the
faithful through the ages ?
Forcing us to prove the hardest
thing we've done
Are easy
So easy
And though I'll think about him
til the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave
him for another kind of love
There is no denial, no betrayal but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and
in the pantheon above
It's easy
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
