[ it's easier to smile ]

it's easier to smile
under the starlight,
it's easier to laugh when
you're beside me,
it's easier to dance
when you play the right wong,
and it's so much harder
when you're gone

I surrender to this sweet ache,
I am helpless here,
wait while I disappear,
I don't know where to go

I thought I've said it a hundred times,
without sunlight, the flower dies,
open the door

the memories burn,
this hurts like yesterday

you threw away everything,
how can you pretend
I didn't say those things?

how could emptiness swallow
such bliss?
how can lies eat away
our innocence?

nothing is the same,
I have to learn how to breathe
without my air,
to speak without my voice,
walk without my feet

it's easier to dance
when you play the right song
and everything is so much harder
when you're gone
