Phil Collins - If Leaving Me Is Easy (Demo) Lyrics






I read all the letters
I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now and the words start to fade
All the memories I have still remain

I've kept all the pictures but I hide my feelings so no one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round but I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cause you're gone now but your heart, heart still remains
And it'll be here if you come again

You see I'd heard the rumours, I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you, no you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong but I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away but just remember

If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder

If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder
If leaving me is easy
Then you know coming back is harder

    I think this is all Phil.

  2. f.... ....

    who's playing guitar on this? could it be clapton, like on the album?

  3. D.... ....

    Sometimes his demos are better then the finished product! I REALLY love the demo to "Do You Remember".

  4. 9.... T....

    @JahalomSjachor I agree! I listened to this as much as the A side when I bought this single way back in'81!

  5. T.... ....

    Yeah, I have this record!! I filmed one of my "famous" Daily Vinyl videos playing this song and the demo of "I Missed Again". (See my turntable in the snow.) It's at watch?v=NT4peyedh-k. I also made one for the demo version of "In The Air Tonight" .. in the same spot but in the summer in the middle of the night.

  6. S.... W....

    I have this as a single, does anybody want to buy it....it also has a demo for I missed again and in the air tonight.....but this one is the least piercing to the ears.......I love the power of music.....and love

    Wow man, I always figured that his song writing process as a solo artist was different from process with Genesis. I thought with his solo work he had lyrics more fully developed as he wrote the music. However, this sounds exactly like Genesis demos--the general melody is in place, and Phil mumbles through while he searches for lyrics.
