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 try to console her 
	She'd just do the best she could 
	but there are times the best is no damn good 
	and no matter how I try to be kind 
	there always still a part of you 
	you leave behind 
	and when it falls apart 
	
	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 lie 
	I had to do it 
	cause I'd 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 
	when it falls apart 
	
	There's no easy way to break somebody's heart. 
	She could have 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 friend 
	I wanted her to say there'd someday 
	I'd come crawling on my knees 
	and ask her back again 
	but she acted like a lady 'til the end 
	oh, what a lady

	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 
	and when it falls apart 
	there's just no easy way 
	
	there's just no easy way 
	
	there's no easy way to break somebody's heart.
