Just Too Easy

(album: Instincts - 1984)

How fair can I be?
How big's this mistake?
You have a cigarette and I have a headache
Nothing makes me lonelier
Than a phone to you
You're waiting for nothing to be
Nowhere soon
Tomorrow you'll pick up the Sports Page, the Financial News
What escapes your attention is easily read
You look like you, think you'd be better off dead

But you, you're always falling apart
It was just too easy to break your heart

What's been paid for in misery's
Been brought back with luck
I ache for the truth like you
Break from my touch
The mirror I'm watching won't
Tell what to say, or how to
Explain that I'm going away
In a palace of lights that dim on command
The wind machine works to cool me again
From the top of the building, six flights up
I watched an impotent city, go up and you

You're always falling apart
It was just too easy to break your heart
It's just too easy to break your heart

I don't raise the shades
On the day that I'm leaving you
I don't wash the face that will say goodbye
I won't write a letter, I didn't meet you that way
But I hope you, know that I tried, 'cause you
You're always falling apart
It was just too easy to break your heart
It was just too easy to break your heart
