You thought the hart part would be saying that it's over   You thought the hard part would be telling me goodbye   But compared to life without my love, I can guarantee   The hard part was easy      You should have known it had to be more complicated   You should have known it was the calm before the storm   But compared to all those nights alone, baby, you will see   The hard part was easy      The hard part wasn't leaving, the hard part wasn't tears   It's knowing that the grass is not as green as it appears   You must have thought the heartache was really no big deal   And I guess if you'd been smarter you'd have known how bad you'd feel      You thought the hard part would be over in an instant   You thought the fun would start as soon as you were free   But compared to what's in store for you, living without me   The hard part was easy      The hard part wasn't leaving, the hard part wasn't tears   It's knowing that the grass is not as green as it appears   You must have thought the heartache was really no big deal   But the hard part just gets harder   And I guess if you'd been smarter you'd have known how bad you'd feel      You thought the hard part would be over in an instant   You thought the fun would start as soon as you were free   But compared to what's in store for you, living without me   The hard part was easy      Yeah, compared to life without my love, I can guarantee   The hard part was easy      Hard part was easy   Ooh, living without me
