Brian T Parks - Easier That Way (Remastered) Lyrics

Why do I smile for a while when you ask if I'm okay?
And I nod my head politely when I turn to walk away?
Because it's easier that way. When there's no words you can say

And if my face bears no trace of the feelings deep inside
Like a mask that you hold when there's things you need to hide
It's 'cos it's easier that way. When colour turns into grey

No-one sees behind the mask. Why would they even think to ask
When ev'rything seems fine and trouble-free?
But ev'ry smile conceals a fear that grows with each succeeding year
An all-consuming darkness that will bring you to your knees

And if the name of the game isn't obvious to you
Then you've never had occasion to conceal your point of view
Because it's easier that way. When there's no words you can say
But ev'ry smile conceals a fear that grows with each succeeding year
An all-consuming darkness that will bring you to your knees

And there's no way you can say it won't happen for real
And you'll never need to hide away the things that you feel
Because it's easier that way. When colour turns into grey

So if I smile for a while when you ask if I'm okay
And I nod my head politely when I turn to walk away
It's 'cos it's easier that way. When there's no words you can say

It's easier that way. When colour turns into grey
It's 'cos it's easier that way. When there's no words you can say
Because it's easier that way. When colour turns into grey
