Lyrics
To bear the weight and push into the sky
To endure challenges and strive for success
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
Finding it more convenient to deceive or hide the truth
And honestly, to look you in the eye
Suggesting difficulty in being truthful while maintaining eye contact
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
Reiterating the ease of resorting to falsehood
To be the one, to be the only one
To be the exclusive and significant person in someone's life
Someone has to give a lot
Emphasizing the necessity for one party to make sacrifices
Something has to give a lot
Highlighting the demand for compromise or adjustment
And who am I to give you what you need
Raising questions about the speaker's ability to meet the partner's needs
When I'm leaning, just learning
Describing a phase of personal growth and understanding
Learning how to live and to bear the weight..
Emphasizing the struggle to live and handle responsibilities
To fill the space, the space you made for me
Acknowledging the need to occupy the emotional space created by the partner
Try to be the one you want
Attempting to conform to the partner's expectations
Try to be the way you want
Striving to meet the partner's standards
And maybe I could be the one you need
Expressing a desire to fulfill the partner's needs
If you'd only show me
Seeking guidance or instruction from the partner
Show me how to live and to bear the weight
Continuing the theme of struggling to carry the burden of life
And push into the sky
Repeating the idea of facing challenges and reaching for success
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
Reiterating the inclination to choose deception over honesty
And do what's right when everything is wrong
Doing what is morally correct in the face of adversity
It's easier to run it's easier to
Favoring avoidance or escapism when confronted with difficulties
Never have to look you in the eye
Choosing not to confront the truth by avoiding eye contact
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
Repeating the idea that dishonesty is a more convenient option
To bear the weight and push into the sky
Echoing the theme of facing challenges and striving for success
It's easier to lie
Concluding with the notion that lying is a more manageable choice
