Takin’ the Easy Way Out

[Verse 1]
It don't really matter
To her if I were to leave
Why, even a fool can see
She's making a fool out of me
She's making it easy
To walk out of her life
Now all it would take
Is to say one simple goodbye

[Chorus]
But I'm having a hard time takin' the easy way out
And this heart of mine sure is having it's doubts
I should be gone instead of holding on
To a love that's holding her down
But I'm having a hard time takin' the easy way out

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I should save her the sorrow
Of having to say that we're through
But through all of her lies
Her eyes keep on saying it's true
It's not like I need to linger
I know I'm just in her way
And she gives no reason
To have any reason to stay

[Chorus]
But I'm having a hard time takin' the easy way out
And this heart of mine sure is having it's doubts
I should be gone instead of holding on
To a love that's holding her down
But I'm having a hard time takin' the easy way out

[Tag]
Oh, I'm having a hard time takin' the easy way out
