This is the moment when the gods expect me To beg for help but I won't even try I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me But I won't lie down, roll over and die
All I have to do is to forget how much I love him All I have to do is put my longing to one side Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died
It's easy, it's easy
Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him And how he would have been were I to be with him today Tender in his manner and myself consolation All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy as life
All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding Better the content of the familiar kind of start
It's easy, it's easy
And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption Redeemed in my allies and in the pantheon above
