About Easier

"Easier" is a song recorded by British singer Lisa Stansfield for her 2004 album, The Moment. It was written by Fiona Renshaw and Andy Wright, and produced by Trevor Horn. Wright works most notably with Simply Red and with Mick Hucknall on his solo projects. He has also written and produced songs for Annie Lennox, David A. Stewart from Eurythmics, Tom Jones, Natalie Imbruglia, Atomic Kitten and many others. Horn is a well-known producer who worked with many singers and bands, including Seal, Tina Turner, Cher, Robbie Williams and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. "Easier" received positive reviews from music critics who called it a "sophisticated adult-oriented pop." It was set for release in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2004 as a double A-side single with "Treat Me Like a Woman." However, the single was withdrawn at the last minute by ZTT Records. It included a new version of "Big Thing," a song recorded by Stansfield's 1980s band, Blue Zone. In February 2005, "Treat Me Like a Woman" was released as an A-side single in other European countries.

I woke up early
And I can't see the light
My back is broad but
It's been a long and lonely night
What if I'm a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when all we
Had is dying

Like moving shadows
We dance around remains
The burning embers
Illuminate my shame
So yes, I am a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when all
We had is dying

It's easier to leave
Not to face the pain
With everything to lose
Nothing left to gain
Broken
Empty promises you made
Token
Empty gestures that you made
I am reeling, reeling
Easier to leave
So you walked away With everything to lose
There's nothing left to say

You disappoint me With a Judus kiss
Crown and anoint me
The poison pours from your lips
So yes, I am a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when ail we had is dying

It's easier to leave
Not to face the pain
With everything to lose
Nothing left to gain
Broken
Empty promises you made
Token
Empty gestures that you made
I am reeling, reeling
Easier to leave
So you walked away With everything to lose
There's nothing left to say

Broken
Empty Promises you gave
Token
Empty gestures that yov made
Unspoken
Did you ever mean to stay
I am reeling, reeling
I am reeling
I am betrayed
