Easier Said Than Done

You can speak it
Utter the lie
But you don't feel it
The thoughts your words defy
The things you deny

You just think it
Your misery
And you notice
What you want to see. That's all
That's all you see

You can say it doesn't matter
In the end whose won
But we all know such things in life
Are easier said than done

You remember
You can't forget
Every moment
They keep you down like debt
Unpayable debt

You can't move on
It holds you fast
In the role where
You've always felt miscast
Let the curtain fall

You can know that in the end
It's the same for everyone
But that measure is no comfort
To creatures under the sun
And there's no point in such reflection
Each ends as he begun
And letting go sometimes it seems
Is easier said than done

It's not that they don't remember
They do; they just don't care
Some folks can get on with life
While others stop to stare
You are lost in past reflection
You recall everyone
And letting go sometimes it seems
Is easier said than done
