It's Not That Easy
Navigating the Complexities of Love: It's Not That Easy by Erin McCarley
Lyrics
You want me to be the God up in your sky
You want me to be the central figure in your life, like a God in your sky.
You want me to be that apple of your eye
You want me to be the most cherished person for you.
So sweet to think you could make you mine
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of making a commitment and being loved.
Well, it's not so easy
Emphasizing that forming a deep connection is not an easy task.
You want me to feel revival in your touch
Desire for emotional rejuvenation through physical contact.
You want me to feel everything you're dreaming of
Expectation to share the same dreams and desires.
But darling I'm tired, I'm all used up
Expressing fatigue and emotional exhaustion.
Oh, it's not so easy, it's not so easy
Reiterating the difficulty of the relationship.
My love, this is more than I can give
Acknowledging limitations in providing what is being asked.
This is more than I can take
Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of the relationship.
My love, I don't wanna let you in
Reluctance to open up emotionally and be vulnerable.
To be another mess to me
Fear of becoming a source of chaos or trouble for the partner.
I don't trust me with loving you
Expressing a lack of self-trust in handling the responsibility of loving the partner.
I wish I could be that diamond you've waited for
Wishing to be a valuable and rare gem for the partner.
Yeah, I do believe when you say you won't take what isn't yours
Believing the partner's commitment not to take what doesn't belong to them.
But if I were you I'd walk right out that back door
Suggesting that, if in the partner's shoes, they would leave to avoid complications.
It's not that easy, I'm not so easy
Reiterating the difficulty of the relationship and asserting personal complexity.
My love, this is more than I can give
Repeating the inability to meet the demands of the relationship.
This is more than I can take
Expressing the overwhelming nature of the relationship's requirements.
My love, I don't wanna let you in
Reiterating reluctance to allow the partner in due to potential chaos.
To be another mess to me
Fearing becoming a burden or complication for the partner.
I don't trust me with loving you
Expressing a lack of self-trust in managing the emotions of loving the partner.
Don't wanna pull the fog over your eyes
Not wanting to deceive or mislead the partner.
Don't wanna string you up and out to dry, no
Rejecting the idea of causing emotional distress to the partner.
Don't wanna pull the fog over your eyes
Repeating the aversion to deceiving the partner.
Don't wanna string you up and out to dry
Reiterating the rejection of causing emotional distress.
Don't let me lock you up in this circle of my mind
Warning against being trapped in the speaker's internal struggles.
My love, this is more than I can give
Reiterating the inability to meet the demands of the relationship.
This is more than I can take
Expressing the overwhelming nature of the relationship's requirements.
My love, I don't wanna let you in
Reiterating reluctance to allow the partner in due to potential chaos.
To be another mess to me
Fearing becoming a burden or complication for the partner.
I don't trust me with loving you
Expressing a lack of self-trust in managing the emotions of loving the partner.
