It's Never That Easy / I've Been Here Before

You just met him, yes, I know

This is lasting, this will grow

But oh, it's never that easy

Believe me, it isn't at all

You are starstruck, so was I

I would love him 'til I die

But oh, it's never that easy

My darling, not easy at all

All your life you'll be with him

Think of that, think it through

He may chase some crazy whim

When he does, you'll go too

And you'll lose him now and then

But each morning start again

And oh, some days you'll be happy

But it won't be easy

It's never that easy

You think so, but no

Oh no, I know

It isn't at all

The man says things he needs to say

Turns to smile as he stands at my door

And then I see his eyes are gray

Oh God, I've been here before

To want him makes no sense at all

Then we talk and out his feelings pour

Inside all my defenses fall

Oh yes, I've been here before

The man's all wrong

That's all that's true

And what is worse, this time, good God, he's twenty-two

And since it's wrong

Before we start

Why should I rush to prove that I can break my heart all over?

The man leaves and I'm on my own

I sit here and simply watch the door

And tell myself I'm fine alone

Oh yes, I've been here before

Oh yes, I've been here before

The man's all wrong (I know)

That's all that's true (It's never that easy)

And what is worse, this time

Good God, he's twenty-two (Believe me, it isn't at all)

And since it's wrong (He may chase)

Before we start (Some crazy whim)

Why should I rush to prove that i (Let him go)

Can break my heart all over? (Or he'll break your heart)

The man leaves and I'm on my own

You're fine alone without him (I sit here)

And simply watch the door (And you'll miss him now and then)

And tell myself

You're / I'm fine alone

Oh yes, I've been here before

But it won't be easy (Some days you'll be happy)

No, never that easy (But it won't be easy)

You think so, but no (Oh no)

I know

I've been here before
