To Make It Easier on You

[Verse 1]
It's a game
At times quite realistic
But a game all the same
Somebody wins and somebody loses
It all depends on whoever choses
To take it most seriously

[Chorus]
But none of this matters to you, babe
This little pantomime of mine
Would only bore you
You don't know I'm only going through the motions
To make it easier on you, baby
When you decide it's over

[Verse 2]
It's a play
Not written very well
But it's a play anyway
Someone's a hero, someone's a villain
It all depends on whoеver's willing
To give themsеlves unselfishly

[Chorus]
But none of this matters to you, baby
This little pantomime of mine
Would only bore you
For you don't know I'm only going through the motions
To try make it easier on you, baby
When you decide it's over

[Bridge]
We walk the laughing way
Pretending not to feel
Pretending it's not real
And we don't matter either way
At least that's what I say

[Verse 3]
It's a show
Not always entertaining
But a show even so
Someone's a star, someone's a stand-in
Some have a hand out, some have their hand in
And some people need both hands free

[Chorus]
Ah, but none of this, none of this matters to you, baby
This little pantomime of mine
Would only bore you
For you don't know I'm only going through the motions
Just to try make it easier on you, baby

[Outro]
I try to make it easier on you, babe
Just to make it easier on you, baby
Ah, to make it easier for you, baby
Tried to make it easier
Tried to make it easier on you, baby
Just to make it easier
