Easy on Me
Navigating Regret: Embracing Redemption in 'Easy on Me' by Roger Beck
Lyrics
There ain't no gold in this river
There is no success or prosperity in this situation.
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I've been dealing with the consequences for a long time.
I know there is hope in these waters
Despite challenges, there is still hope.
But I can't bring myself to swim
Unable to overcome personal obstacles and take a positive step.
When I am drowning in this silence
Feeling overwhelmed and isolated in a quiet, lonely struggle.
Baby, let me in
Requesting emotional support and understanding.
Go easy on me, baby
Asking for gentleness and empathy.
I was still a child
Reflecting on a time when maturity was lacking.
Didn't get the chance to
Missed out on the opportunity to experience the world.
Feel the world around me
Never had the chance to fully engage with life.
I had no time to choose
No time to make informed choices.
What I chose to do
Regret over past decisions.
So go easy on me
Requesting understanding and forgiveness.
There ain't no room for things to change
Resistance to change in the current situation.
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
Both parties are deeply entrenched in their ways.
You can't deny how hard I have tried
Acknowledging the difficulty in trying to make amends.
I changed who I was to put you both first
Changed personal identity for the sake of others.
But now I give up
Decision to stop trying to change the situation.
Go easy on me, baby
Reiterating the plea for understanding and mercy.
I was still a child
Reflecting on past immaturity and mistakes.
Didn't get the chance to
Missed out on experiencing the world as a child.
Feel the world around me
Never had the opportunity to fully engage with life.
Had no time to choose
No time to make informed choices in the past.
What I chose to do
Regret over decisions made in the past.
So go easy on me
Reiterating the plea for understanding and mercy.
I had good intentions
Had good intentions, aimed for the best.
And the highest hopes
Optimistic and ambitious about the future.
But I know right now
Aware that current efforts may not be evident.
That probably doesn't even show
Reiterating the plea for understanding and mercy.
Go easy on me, baby
Requesting gentleness and empathy.
I was still a child
Reflecting on past immaturity and mistakes.
I didn't get the chance to
Missed out on experiencing the world as a child.
Feel the world around me
Never had the opportunity to fully engage with life.
I had no time to choose
No time to make informed choices in the past.
What I chose to do
Regret over decisions made in the past.
So go easy on me
Reiterating the plea for understanding and mercy.
