You’re easier to love
From afar
You’re easier to see
When I don’t know where you are
Like before God changed your DNA
I think I could remember you that way
Oh I’m saying amen
It’s easier to hate
And that’s what I fear
You’re easier to understand
When the words don’t ring so clear
But the knife will fall from a sunny sky
When I hear your name and remember this goodbye
Oh I’m saying amen
You’re easier to love
From afar far far far far
I’ve erased all the parts
That don’t add up to who you are
Now there’s just one eye one tooth one cheek
If there’s more to you of that we’ll never speak
Now I’m saying amen.
