Lyle Lovett - It Ought to Be Easier lyrics

rate me

Tell your mama I love her

Tell your daddy I tried

Tell them I wish that I could explain

The way that I'm feeling

See the sun comes up on the pavement

The pavement it starts to sweat

The steam rises up from the water

And the hotter it is you know the harder it gets

And it ought to be easier

When you turn your lights down low

And it ought to be easier

To leave when you know that you have to go

I know you don't believe me

And I know you don't understand

But honey the way that you treat me

I can't even tell who I am

And you tell me I'm the one you're not to blame

And you tell me I make you feel the same way

And we talk in circles but we never say

It's just out of weakness that both of us stay

And it ought to be easier

When you turn your lights down low

And it ought to be easier

To leave when you know that you have to go

I look at you when you're sleeping

And I think about how it could be

If you would wake up and open your arms

And hold me

But you look at me when you wake up

With eyes that are angry and mean

And I turn away and walk into the kitchen

And I pray for the strength to leave

Because it ought to be easier

When you turn your lights down low

And it ought to be easier

To leave when you know that you have to go

To leave when you know that you have to go

So tell your mama I love her

I hope she knows that I tried

Tell her I wish that I could explain

The way that I'm feeling

See the suns comes up on the pavement

The pavement it starts to sweat

The steam rises up from the water

And the hotter it is you know the harder it gets

The hotter it is you know the harder it gets

The hotter it is you know the harder it gets
