  The Easy Way
  (by Terry Hollahan, Pam Childs, and Karen Curtis)
 
  I’ve been down this road before
I’ve been the one to slam the door
And lock myself away while you go out and play

I’ve been on the losing end
While you’re running with your friends
The one who’s left behind to sit and lose my mind

But now I realize
You’ve been living both our lives
I’ve learned a thing or two
I’ve learned from watching you

And you won’t hurt me anymore
I’ll be the one walking out that door
You can stay behind
Sit around and lose your mind
And I’ll take the easy way this time

I don’t know the reasons why
I let so much time slip by
Just waiting for the day, when things would go my way

Holding back so long
Wondering if I belong
Not taking what is mine, wasting so much time

And now I understand
I don’t need you to hold my hand
I’ve learned a thing or two
I’ve learned from watching you

And you won’t hurt me anymore
I’ll be the one walking out that door
You can stay behind
Sit around and loose your mind
And I’ll take the easy way this time

And baby you can bet I won’t be looking back
Me leaving you’ll be the only thing that lasts, bye bye baby

And now I understand
I don’t need you to hold my hand
I’ve learned a thing or two
I’ve learned from watching you

And you won’t hurt me anymore
I’ll be the one walking out that door
You can stay behind
Sit around and loose your mind
And I’ll take the easy way this time
