Lyrics James Ingram – There’s No Easy Way

I held her close to me
‘Cause I know she breaks so easily
And then I told her
But I knew no matter how I tried to console her

Chorus:
There’s no easy way to break somebody’s heart

I lied and told her she’d be fine
Though we both knew it was just a line
I had to do it
‘Cause I’d a’ said anything to help me get through it

Then she reached out for my hand
And her simple touch was more than I could stand
And I had to turn away
‘Cause I knew all the hurt
That she was feeling I was feeling too
‘Cause when it falls apart

Chorus:
There’s no easy way to break somebody’s heart

She could’ve gotten angry
And made me feel like a guilty child
But I realized that never was her style
I wanted her to hurt me
And not treat me like a friend
I wanted her to say there’d be someday
I’m come crawling on my knees to ask her back again

I thought that she’d break down
But she smiled at me and never made a sound
And I guess she understood in her way
Cause her silence told me everything she could not say
When it falls apart
There’s just no easy way

Chorus:
There’s just no easy way
There’s just no easy way to break somebody’s heart.
