Take a breath
Take a look
At the time
you turned up
like a scene
from a play that we wrote
On that day
if we both knew our roles
how did we
lose control?
But the script,
is it right?
Did we mess
up the lines?
Divided the chores of maintaining our
parts Memorized every rule of the game
And still all our fears multiplied in the dark As we drift,
drift apart just the same
Oh, if love were easy
I'd add up the days Take away arguments and know what to say
Oh, and if love were simple I'd ask you to stay
But no,
since it isn't we'll go our separate ways
Hard to know
what went wrong
Like the rain
has its spells
Could be you
Could be me
Could be us Who can tell?
Tried so many times but it never makes sense Never safe,
never sure,
never will
Yet time and again I return to the place
Where we keep acting out as we came
Oh,
if love were easy
I'd add up the days Take away arguments and know what to say
Oh,
and if love were simple I'd ask you to stay But no,
since it isn't we'll go our separate ways
Oh,
if love were easy I'd add up the
days Take away all the words that I wish I'd never
had said And if love were simple I'd have it my way
But no,
it just isn't at least not for today
