"There's no easy way to stay when it hurts so much / Especially when you think you've had enough," she sings on the chorus. "Ain't no easy way to love." The song's minor key sound and emphasis on the rumbling bass and skittering drums also hint at the confusion she's experiencing. Still, for all the ways she accurately evokes the emotional turmoil of the situation, something doesn't quite work. Perhaps it's that this song doesn't feel customized for her voice and could have been given to quite a few other singers. She also doesn't offer up the energy that we know she can deliver, instead opting to back off at times we would love to hear her voice soar. That being said, it's still a Deborah Cox song and we're happy to have her back. Hopefully this means more is in store from the diva in the near future.
