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...

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...

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...
