Easier

It would be easier,
If you were just a memory,
Not standing in front of me,
Telling me, I need to let you go,

It would be easier,
If I could forget the way you made me smile,
If the memories would fade with every mile,
I could let it fade, let it fade away,

But how can I stand here and look you in the eye,
Breaking my own heart because I have to say goodbye,
Knowing that what we once were, can never be once more,
Standing here in silence as I watch you close the door,

Silence overtakes my soul,
As my heart forms a shield so cold,
I stand and let you walk away,
I close my eyes as my world fades to grey,

It would be easier,
If you were just someone I once knew,
Not a hope my heart tries to hold on to,
Maybe then, I could let you go,

It would be easier,
To live as if you never changed a thing,
To pretend that you were only just a dream,
But I can't, cause its not true,

But how can I stand here and look you in the eye,
Breaking my own heart because I have to say goodbye,
Knowing that what we once were, can never be once more,
Standing here in silence as I watch you close the door,

Silence overtakes my soul,
As my heart forms a shield so cold,
I stand and let you walk away,
I close my eyes as my world fades to grey,

It would be easier,
But I guess I'm doing this a different way,
All that I can do now is just to pray,
That He will help me let you go,

It would be easier,
But if this is what is best for you,
That's the truth I'll hold on to,
So tonight, I'll let you go.
