Analysis of How can something so easy be so difficult
It was just go straight ahead
I could touch it
but still I got lost
The road back
would not be there to find
how can it be
That something so easy
could be so difficult
the days became years
and smiles
fade in timeless tears
and nights filled
of heat
froze to ice
