Easy As Life

This is the moment when the gods expect me 
To beg for help but I wont even try 
I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me 
But I wont lie down, roll over and die 

All I have to do is to forget how much I love him 
All I have to do is put my longing to one side 
Tell myself that loves an ever-changing situation 
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died 
Its easy, its easy 

Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him 
And how he would have been were I to be with him today 
Tender in his manner and myself consolation 
All I ever wanted and Im throwing it away 
Its easy, its easy as life 

All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him 

On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart 
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding 
Better the content of the familiar kind of start 
Its easy, its easy 

And though Ill think about him until the earth draws in 
around me 

And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love 
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption 
Redeemed in my allies and in the pantheon above 
Its easy, its easy, its easy as life
