"If Leaving Me Is Easy" is a song by Phil Collins from his 1981 album Face Value.

The song was later covered by the Isley Brothers for their 1985 album Masterpiece.

This was the first of two Phil Collins singles that featured Eric Clapton.

Collins revealed on the "Making of Face Value" episode of Classic Albums that he decided to stop performing this song live on stage following his 1985 No Jacket Required tour because he disliked the audience yelling and screaming instead of being quiet while he performed this song.

According to SongFacts.com,[2] Collins performed the song on the BBC music show Top of the Pops with a bucket of paint and paintbrush on top of his electric piano, a reference to his first wife's affair with a painter and decorator.
