It's Easier

I've seen it happen again and again
Their perfect love cracks at the seams and it crumbles down
Like mortar in a ghost downtown
The walls of favor fall, fall down

They're true true love
Then they make mistakes
Now he's moved on 
She'll curse his face
And all her girlfriends will approve

Yeah she'll cry a bit but watch, you'll see
She'll bury that hurt lookin' all angry
Never needed him 
Better off and moving on too

Too good for him
That's what she'll say
'Cause bitterness aches less at the end of the day
No crying into that pillow she's too good for him

Yeah it's easier that way 
Easier that way 
Instead of having to say
"I'm happy for you
It's better like this and I'm okay"

It's better to be angry
Yeah it's so much easier that way
But I can't be angry at you you've done nothing wrong
Didn't truly lead me on
And she's better for you than I could be

But it's easier to say 
I didn't really care
Easier to say I'm over you
Easier to cuss your name
Than pretend like I'm okay
Like my heart isn't riddled with pain

I wish I could let myself be angry
I wish I could be justified in hating you
But you're happy and I've no right to care
So I'll pretend like I'm happy for you,
That's what "good friends" should do
I'm just sayin'
It'd be easier that way.
