EAsy Ways to Hear

Packing what’s left of me in a guitar case, Holding onto hope that you show your face

But no one looks like you

Bartender says it’s gonna be a good night, I see familiar faces as they’re starting to line up

But no one here looks like you

It’s been almost a year since we took that walk, crying in the street, and making neighbors talk

There ain’t too many easy ways to hear, “I don’t love you anymore”

Fake smiling in between every note, wishing that I’d never heard these songs I wrote

The first set is almost done

The people drink and dance and try to forget, rubbing up against who they’re gonna regret

And my whiskey is almost gone

Called her on the phone for a month or so, tried to act sober but she’d always know

There ain’t too many easy ways to hear, “Please don’t call me anymore”

Loadin up to go now it’s quarter to four. The boys are drinking Whiskeys like they won the war

But I still feel like throwing the fight

I wish you were still waiting up for me at the end of this ride like you used to be

With a sleepy-eyed kiss goodnight

Trying so hard not to learn his name, but talk in a small town is hard to tame

There ain’t too many easy ways to hear, “you’re not with her anymore”

Home now, I sneak into the bedroom to see, my beautiful babies lying sound asleep, and think, maybe

I’m ok

Lay there and for the first time think, they say time heals everything and my heart fills with maybe I’m

ok

It’s been almost a year since we took that walk, crying in the street, and making neighbors talk

There ain’t too many easy ways to here, where I don’t love you anymore.
