Ricky Nelson
Easier to Say Goodbye
We need a love revival
Somewhere for us to begin
To take apart the wounded hearts
And love them back together again
Solemn promises are
Too quickly spoken
That tie that binds the hearts
Is easily broken
It hurts to leave and
Yet it hurts to live a lie
It's easier to say goodbye
The family chain has oddly
Gained a missing link
Cheating pairs don't seem to care
What the children think
They pledge fidelity
But they're too weak to try
It's easier to say goodbye
I just want to make it better
It's easier to say goodbye
I just want to mend a heart
It's easier to say goodbye
Men and women lack
The courage of commitment
All their energies
And passions are misspent
Will we ever understand
The reason why
It's easier to say goodbye
I just want to make it better
(I wanna try to make it better
Gotta try to stay together
We've gotta find the reasons why)
It's easier to say goodbye
We need a love revival
Somewhere for us to begin
To take apart the wounded hearts
And love them back together again
I just want to make it better
(I wanna try to make it better
Gotta try to stay together
We've gotta find the reasons why)
It's easier to say goodbye
