Easy As Life (feat. Angélique Kidjo)

This is the moment when the gods expect me

To beg for help, but I won't even try

I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me

But I won't 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 loving to one side

Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation

Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died

It's easy, it's 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 this manner, and myself consolation

All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

It's easy, it's 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

It's better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding

Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start

It's easy, it's easy

And though I think about him till 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 own eyes and in the pantheon above

It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life
