I can see it in your eyes

you don't love me

and though you tried to hide

hide it from me

I know i can see the truth

so easy to love you in the beginning

and so easy to play the fool

cuz i was willing

but it's over now



when loving you was easy

when loving you was easy

tried to make it hard for me

still i stuck around

i was set on loving you

and no matter what you did

i stuck through it



when loving you was easy

why'd you make it harder

why'd you make it hard for me

when i stuck around

wishing that you'd would come around

oh, you made it easy for me to leave you



it could have been so easy cuz

my heart was easy to give ya

like second nature

lovin you was systematic

like i was an addict

it hurt me but i couldn't get enough

it's like you hated me around

but when i left you couldn't stand it

and you needed me around

but i can't take the ups and downs

it's one thing that i found

i gotta get over you



when loving you was easy

when loving you was easy

tried to make it hard for me

when i stuck around

hopin that you'd come around

and no matter what you did

i stuck through it



when loving you was easy

so why'd you make it harder

why'd you make it hard for me

when i stuck around

wishing that you'd come around

cuz now you made it easy for me to leave you



i gave you everything i had

didn't ask you for anything that i didn't give you myself

if you didn't want to say (hey hey)

that was all you had to say

cuz although i used to love you

and need you

you knew that i knew we couldn't last for long

and i didn't mean to bring the choir to let you know you were wrong



when loving you was easy

when loving you was easy

ya tried to make it hard for me

when i stuck around

hopin that you'd come around

and no matter what you did

i stuck through it all



when loving you was easy

why'd you make it harder

why'd you make it hard for me

and i stuck around

wishing that you'd come around (but i'm tired now)

and that's why i'm leavin you



i'm leavin you

i'm leavin you
