Easy To Let Go
Heartbreak's Echo: Betrayal in Love's Goodbye
Lyrics
So, if you're gonna go
Expressing frustration or disbelief at the prospect of someone leaving
Then tell me baby why'd you waste my time?
Questioning why the person wasted time if they intended to leave
Even when you said you loved me
Highlighting that even declarations of love were untrue
It was lies, lies, lies
Emphasizing the repetition of lies in the relationship
I could tell by how you said goodbye then
Noticing how the goodbye indicated ease in moving on
Was so easy for you to let go
Pointing out the ease with which the person let go of the relationship
Do you know how hard it is to wake up in the morning?
Describing the difficulty in starting each day due to emotional distress
Every day?
Highlighting the struggle to sleep at night, likely due to heartache
When you can't sleep at night
Expressing confusion about why the person believed something that wasn't true
And how the hell did you believe that I want it?
Regretting not expressing how things could have been fixed
I never say how I could've made it right
-
Oh-ooh-ooh
-So many things I'm putting for me and you
Stating efforts put into the relationship
But now you're wasting my love, wasting my love (oh-ooh-ooh)
Expressing frustration at the love being wasted
There was so many things that I wanted to try
Regret over missed opportunities due to the breakup
But you told me bye
Recalling the moment of being told goodbye
So, if you're gonna go
Repeating the initial sentiment of the frustration over departure
Tell me baby why'd you waste my time?
Reiterating the confusion over wasted time
Even when you said you loved me
Re-emphasizing the falsity of love expressed
It was lies, lies, lies
Repetition highlighting the prevalence of lies
I could tell by how you said goodbye then
Reflecting on the ease of departure demonstrated through the goodbye
Was so easy for you to let go
Reiterating the ease of moving on for the other person
Baby, there's no way that I could put it on another the way I did
Indicating the uniqueness of the past relationship
'Cause I've put it all on us
Asserting the investment made in the relationship
And even if I'd take the time to find another lover to live with
Expressing difficulty in trusting another person romantically
Baby, I could never trust her
-
Oh-ooh-ooh
-So many things I'm putting for me, for you
Repeating efforts invested for the relationship
But now you're wasting my love, wasting my love
Reiteration of frustration at wasted love
Oh-ooh-ooh
-
There was so many things that I wanted to try
Reiterating missed opportunities due to the breakup
But you told me bye
Recollection of being told goodbye
So, if you're gonna go
Restating frustration at the impending departure
Tell me baby why'd you waste my time?
Reiterating confusion over wasted time
Even when you said you loved me
Re-emphasizing the falsity of love expressed
It was lies, lies, lies
Repetition highlighting the prevalence of lies
I could tell by how you said goodbye then
Reflecting on the ease of departure demonstrated through the goodbye
Was so easy for you to let go
Reiterating the ease of moving on for the other person
