Surely you can sit down for a while 
Maybe you can even smile 
And I'll try to pretend that you love me again 
But it might take me a little while 
I know you'll be holding me tight 
You'll know when the moment is right 
When I was broken in two it was all because of you 
But baby I need you tonight 

Chorus: 
It ain't easy being easy 
Oh no 
You're the one who took my heart and my soul 
You walk away and left me out of control 
It ain't easy being easy 
Oh no 

(No it ain't) 
Easy when you're needing someone 
It ain't easy being under the gun 
But I'll surrender even though I should run 
It ain't easy being easy 

It ain't easy being easy
oooh 
It ain't easy being easy. 

I might end up lonely again 
But once you were my only friend 
So I'll hold you and cry with the truth in my eyes 
Hoping you'll love me again. 

Chorus
