At first it feels harder to take the high road, when you feel wronged by another. But if you want to end the pain, you have to make the change.

Woulda Been So Easy
Lyrics: Rebekah Hopper

ASCAP

Intro:
There's a strength inside I feel
And I'm being rebuilt... (oh)

Verse1:
I can't take, the easy way out
I must end this pain, someway somehow
Instead of hate, bringing me down
I'll focus on love
It's filling me up
Making me better than I was

Chorus:
It woulda been so easy to curl up in a ball and die
It woulda been so easy to give up and not even try
It woulda been so easy to lose my motha- * -kin mind
But I'd rather grow, (oh)
Take the high road (oh)
And move on with my life

Verse 2:
At first, it seemed hard, to not call him up and cuss him out
With a heavy heart, I barely got off the couch
Tending the scars, from the latest bout
Don't back-pedal
Don't fall in that hole
Don't be afraid to just let it go, so...

Chorus x2

Bridge:
Ooh yeah there was a force deep down I felt
It was always there (always there) just waiting to be unveiled
When he said he didn't need me,
I thought I was beyond all help
But I'd rather grow
Just let it all go
And move on with my, move on with my life... (modulation)

Chorusx1

Yeah it's time to let it go (Repeat)
Time to take the high road (Repeat)
Yeah it's time to let it go (Repeat)
Yeah it's time to grow (Repeats)
Yeah it's time to let it go (Repeat)
Time to take the high road (Repeat)

Don't back pedal
Don't fall in that hole (again)
Don't be afraid to just let go

It woulda been so easy to curl up in a ball and die
It woulda been so easy to give up and not even try
It woulda been so easy to lose my motha-fuckin mind
But I'd rather grow, (oh)
Take the high road (oh)
And move on with my life...

Yeah, yeah...
