[Verse 1]

I could barely breathe when you told me goodbye

Thought my knees would go as you walked down the drive

It was I could do to hold back the tears

I whispered I love you, guess you didn't hear

As I watched you drive away, I thought I'd die

[Chorus]

And that was the easy part, as bad as it was

Your goodbye didn't torture me like your being gone does

Facing my life alone is where it really gets hard

Watching you leave tore a hole deep in me

And that was the easy part

[Verse 2]

She'll be back, that's what I told myself

But the more I lied, the less it seemed to help

If you know how a man who's about to drown

Feels the third time he goes down

Then you know how I was feeling when you left

[Chorus]

And that was the easy part, as bad as it was

Your goodbye didn't torture me like your being gone does

Facing my life alone is where it really gets hard

Watching you leave tore a hole deep in me

And that was the easy part

[Refrain]

Facing my life alone is where it really gets hard

Watching you leave tore a hole deep in me

That was the easy part
