Text: Joe Diffie. And That Was The Easy Part.

I could barely breathe when you told me goodbye
Thought my knees would go as you walked down the drive
It was I could do to hold back the tears
I whispered "I love you" guess you didn't hear
As I watched you drive away
I thought I'd die

And that was the easy part
As bad as it was
Your goodbye didn't torture me
Like your being gone does

Facing my life alone
Is where it really gets hard
Watching you leave
Bore a hole deep in me
And that was the easy part

'She'll be back"
That's what I told myself
But the more I lied
The less it seemed to help
If you know how a man whose about to drown
Feels the 3rd time he goes down
Then you know how I was feeling
The day you left

And that was the easy part
As bad as it was
Your goodbye didn't torture me
Like your being gone does

Facing my life alone
Is where it really gets hard
Watching you leave
Bore a hole deep in me
That was the easy part

Facing my life alone
Is where it really gets hard
Watching you leave
Bore a hole deep in me
That was the easy part
