And That Was the Easy Part
Love's Departure: Navigating Heartache in 'And That Was the Easy Part'
Lyrics
I could barely breathe when you told me goodbye
I felt suffocated when you said goodbye
Thought my knees would go as you walked down the drive
My legs were weak as you walked away
It was I could do to hold back the tears
I struggled to hold back tears
I whispered "I love you" guess you didn't hear
I quietly expressed love, but you didn't hear
As I watched you drive away
Emotionally devastated as I saw you drive away
I thought I'd die
I felt like I might die
And that was the easy part
That initial pain was comparatively easier
As bad as it was
Though it was bad, the goodbye itself wasn't torturous
Your goodbye didn't torture me
It's your absence that now torments me
Like your being gone does
Leaving me alone is the real challenge
Facing my life alone
Trying to face life without you
Is where it really gets hard
This is where the true difficulty begins
Watching you leave
Your departure created a deep emotional void
Bore a hole deep in me
A metaphorical hole was dug within me
And that was the easy part
Despite the pain, the departure was the easier phase
'She'll be back"
Telling myself you'll return
That's what I told myself
Self-deception about your eventual comeback
But the more I lied
Repeated lies provided little comfort
The less it seemed to help
Increasing dishonesty failed to console
If you know how a man whose about to drown
Comparing emotional struggle to drowning
Feels the 3rd time he goes down
The pain intensified with each emotional setback
Then you know how I was feeling
Emotionally drowning similar to a drowning man
The day you left
The intense emotions I felt when you departed
And that was the easy part
Initial pain was the comparatively easier part
As bad as it was
Goodbye itself, though painful, wasn't torturous
Your goodbye didn't torture me
It's the ongoing absence that tortures me
Like your being gone does
Leaving me alone is the real challenge
Facing my life alone
Trying to navigate life without you
Is where it really gets hard
This is where the true difficulty begins
Watching you leave
Your departure created a deep emotional void
Bore a hole deep in me
A metaphorical hole was dug within me
That was the easy part
Despite the pain, the departure was the easier phase
Facing my life alone
Trying to face life without you
Is where it really gets hard
This is where the true difficulty begins
Watching you leave
Your departure created a deep emotional void
Bore a hole deep in me
A metaphorical hole was dug within me
That was the easy part
Despite the pain, the departure was the easier phase
