Lyrics for Song: If Leaving Me Is Easy
Lyrics for Album: Face Value
i read all the letters...
i read each word that you've sent to me
and though its past now, and your words... start to fade
all the memories i've had, still remain
i've kept all the pictures, but i hide my feelings so no-one knows
oh sure my friends all come 'round,
but i'm in a crowd, and own my own
its cos you're gone now, but your heart... heart still remains
and it'll be here if you come again
you see i'd heard the rumours
i knew before you let me know
but i didn't believe it, not you
no, you would not let me go
seems i was wrong,
but i love, love you the same
and that's the one thing that you can't take away
but just remember.....
if leaving me is easy,
then you know, coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy,
Then you know, coming back is harder
Hoh...
repeat to fade

If Leaving Me Is Easy
Released on Phil Collins' 1981 album Face Value, 'If Leaving Me Is Easy' stands as a poignant exploration of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on. The track features Collins' signature rhythmic drumming and a melodic vocal delivery that balances vulnerability with a driving pop-rock energy. As a staple of his early discography, the song exemplifies the emotional depth and production quality that defined the album. It remains a recognizable piece within his broader catalog, often cited alongside other major releases like 'In the Air Tonight' and 'Another Day in Paradise' for its ability to capture the raw feelings of a breakup. The recording showcases Collins' evolution as a songwriter and performer during the early 1980s, cementing his status as a leading figure in the genre. |
