If Leaving Me Is Easy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I read all the letters
I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now
And the words start to fade
All the memories I have still remain
[Verse 2]
I've kept all the pictures
But I hide my feelings so no one knows
Oh, sure, my friends all come round
But I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cause you're gone now
But your heart, heart still remains
And it'll be here if you come again
[Verse 3]
You see, I'd heard the rumours
I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you
No, you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong
But I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away
Just remember
I read all the letters
I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now
And the words start to fade
All the memories I have still remain
[Verse 2]
I've kept all the pictures
But I hide my feelings so no one knows
Oh, sure, my friends all come round
But I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cause you're gone now
But your heart, heart still remains
And it'll be here if you come again
[Verse 3]
You see, I'd heard the rumours
I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you
No, you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong
But I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away
Just remember
