This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die

All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died

He attacked me, attacked the world's last hope for freedom. What kind of monster would do that? He said he had changed, he had! But he hadn't…

It's easy, it's easy

He's Fire Nation, and he hates me.

Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today

He's beautiful behind that scar, that blatant mark of his banishment. He is capable of love, and being love. So why did he toss me away for such a fleeting thing as honor?

It's easy, easy as life

He's Fire Nation, and he hates me.

All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start

He's Fire Nation. I must remember that. He wants to take over the world, he and his tyrant father.

It's easy, it's easy

He's Fire Nation, and he hates me.

Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions don't let up, they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

When we touched, when I tried to heal him, he did not resist me. He could have resisted the fatal temptation of his sister. But he didn't…

It's easy, it's easy as life

He's Fire Nation, and he hates me.

And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people
A father and a nation who won't let a coward run
Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages
Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we've done

Our nation is threatened by the Fire nation…

Are easy, so easy

He hates me.

And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above

It is my duty to help Aang become the avatar. No matter how much I want Zuko, he will try and stop me from doing my duty. And that is not an option.

It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life

((Yes, I have been corrupted. Enjoy!))
