It Ain't Easy (To Love Somebody)

(album: I Know That Name - 2008)

I've been looking around at familiar faces
Trying to see all the funny side
Every night I've been going to places
But all I really wanna do is hide

She left me too long to my own devices
The grass was greener on the other side
If I left here tomorrow who's going to blame me?
Pretty soon she's gonna realise

It ain't easy to love somebody
In the back of your mind you may wonder why
It ain't easy to love somebody
When they don't seem to care if you live or die

I thought I'd done right
To make a confession
And straight to your face I apologise
Now I know, I oughta known better
It should have come to me as no surprise

It ain't easy to love somebody
And you better believe there's a price to pay
It ain't easy to love somebody
But it's even harder just to walk away

It ain't easy to love somebody
In the back of your mind you may wonder why
It ain't easy to love somebody
When they don't seem to care if you live or die

It ain't easy to love somebody
And you better believe there's a price to pay
It ain't easy to love somebody
But it's so much harder just to walk away
