It Ought To Be Easier Lyle Lovett

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

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

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
