You flash a smile at anyone that counts
They pinch your cheeks, say your walk could use a bounce
You lose yourself to the beat of a fading pop song
Someone always asks but no one ever stays
People always lose everybody plays
Sold your soul for the role in a stranger's daydream

Long lasting love don't come easy
For the easy
The breezy
Or the beautiful
Long lasting love don't come easy
For the easy
The breezy
Or the cover girl

Home's an honest face that swears to never change
It hurts to leave but it kills to stay
Strangers are gods until you know them
Promises change with the seasons
Good actors have good reasons

Long lasting love don't come easy
For the easy
The breezy
Or the beautiful
Long lasting love don't come easy
For the easy
The breezy
Or the cover girl
Someone always asks
But no one ever stays
People always lose
Everybody plays
Sold your soul
For the role in a stranger’s daydream

Yeah, long lasting love
Long lasting love
You know it never comes easy
Oh, but it’s beautiful
And long lasting love don’t come easy
For the easy, the breezy, or the beautiful
And long, long lasting love
It don’t come easy for me
And long, long lasting love
It don’t come easy, no
