It ain't gonna be easy from now on 
You've been messing around while I've been gone 
But sometimes telling the truth can be unkind 
Folks who suffer guilt can be so blind 
 
It ain't gonna be easy I can tell 
Just how empty I'm feeling you know damn well 
I'm telling you it ain't gonna be easy from the start 
Look out honey you're playing with my heart 
 
It ain't gonna be easy that's for sure 
Changing things back the way they were before 
Once you've lifted the lid on such pain 
It ain't easy to put it back again 
 
It ain't gonna be easy to forget 
You've been seeing a man that I ain't met 
I'm telling you that it ain't gonna be easy from the start 
Look out baby, you're playing with my heart 
 
It ain't gonna be so easy this time around 
Turning back the clock on what's gone down 
Oh there comes a time when you need to make a stand 
You gotta play your cards or fold a losing hand 
 
And it ain't gonna be easy that's no lie 
But if you're willing to try it so am I 
It ain't gonna be so easy from the start 
You better look out darling, you're playing with my heart
