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 tried to console her      She's just do the best she could   But there are times the best in no damn good   And no matter how you try to be kind   There's always still a part of you you leave behind      When it falls apart   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 line   I had to do it 'cause I'd have 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      'Cause when it falls apart   There's no easy way to break somebody's heart      She could've 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 a friend      I wanted to to say there'd be someday   I'm come crawling on my knees to 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      When it falls apart   There's just no easy way, there's just no easy way   There's just no easy way to break somebody's heart
