Easier
The Crane Wives
If you woke and I was gone
From the house that we made our home
Would it bend you, break you, overtake your heart
Like it did my own?
And if I were someplace else
And if I were someplace else
And if I were someplace else, would this be easier?
The only peace I have ever known
Is the peace I made with you
I won't move, but I can't stay here
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
And if I were someone else
And if I were someone else
And if I were someone else, would this be easier?
I try to keep it in my head
The need to leave this empty bed
And be nobody instead
Because it's easier
I learned to lie
I learned to grow
I learned to hold it for a while and let it go
I learned to take
I learned to keep
Please tell me someday
I'll at least be able to sleep
Please tell me someday
I'll at least be able to sleep
And if I were someplace else
And if I were someone else
And if I were not myself, would this be easier?
I'm at a loss for better plans
'Cause this is all I have
So I'll just close my eyes and try
To pretend
That it gets easier
That it gets easier
That it gets easier
That it gets easier
