Easier Lyrics - The Crane Wives

If you woke and I was gone 

from the house we made our home, 

Would it bend you, break you, 

overtake your heart like it did my own? 

And if I were someplace else, 

And if I were someplace else, 

And if I were someplace else 

Would this be easier? 

The only peace I have ever known 

is the peace I made with you. 

I won't move, but I can't stay here, 

so what the hell am I supposed to do? 

And if I were someone else, 

And if I were someone else, 

And if I were someone else 

Would this be easier? 

I try to keep it in my head 

The need to leave this empty bed 

And be nobody instead 

Because it's easier 

I'll learn to lie, 

I'll learn to grow, 

I'll learn to hold it for a while and let it go. 

I'll learn to take, 

I'll learn to keep - 

Please tell me someday I'll at least be able to sleep. 

Please tell me someday I'll at least be able to sleep. 

And if I were someone else, 

And if I were someplace else, 

If I were not myself, 

Would this be easier? 

I'm at a loss for better plans, 

'cause this is all that I have, 

so I'll just close my eyes and try to pretend 

that it gets easier, 

that it gets easier, 

that it gets easier.
