This is the pain and tears,
The worst of your fears, the question at hand,
And so many leave this way,
And so they say, "The easy way out" - I don't understand.

Taking the easy way out isn't the easy way out,
Taking the easy way out isn't the easy way out.

And so life goes on or passes you by, and you start to cry,
You listen, and you hear his voice in your ear: "No use left you try, go on, take your life."

But taking the easy way out isn't the easy way out,
Taking the easy way out isn't the easy way out.

Oh, taking the easy way out isn't the easy way out,
Taking the easy way out isn't the easy way out.
