It's easy to hide behind a smile, behind an ugly grace It's easy to talk behind the back, it's harder to the face It's easy to drink than to think, it's all so easy then It's easy to shy away from life, it's hard to be the man Oh come on listen to me, I can't complain I got it easy I've everything I thought I always wanted Even though I'm keeping busy there's something more that still escapes me I had it then, but now it's gone away
