Easy
Love's Unequal Struggle
Lyrics
I'd give my right arm and my last, you wouldn't give me half of that
I am willing to sacrifice a lot for you, but you are not reciprocating equally.
In return, that's too bad
Unfortunately, I don't receive the same level of commitment in return.
You party on, you live your life
You enjoy partying and living your life.
While I pretend that I'm alright
Despite my internal struggles, I pretend to be fine when you are around.
I'm okay, I'm alright
Outwardly, I claim to be okay and unaffected.
I thought that we would both regret
I expected us both to regret the foolish things we said.
All the stupid shit we said
We said regrettable things and now must deal with the consequences.
And laugh it off as we go back to bed
We should be able to laugh off our mistakes and reconcile.
Thought there'd be a late night text
I anticipated a late-night message from you asking about my whereabouts.
Askin' me where I've been at
You, however, seem unaffected and not bothered by our situation.
This should be harder for you
This should be emotionally challenging for you, but it's not.
But, baby, instead
Despite the difficulty, you handle it effortlessly.
You make it look easy, way too damn easy
You make dealing with our situation look easy, almost too effortless.
Ooh, like you don't even have to try
It seems like you don't have to put in any effort.
You make it look easy, baby, just teach me
I want to learn from you how to handle things with such ease.
Ooh, how you get to sleep every night
You manage to sleep peacefully every night, unlike me.
'Cause for me, it's not easy, easy, ea', no
For me, dealing with our situation is not easy at all.
Did something click off in your brain to help you not think of my name?
Have you deliberately suppressed thoughts of me?
Wish I could say the same
I wish I could do the same and forget about you.
I tried to go out to a bar, and soon as I stepped out my car
When I tried going out, I quickly retreated, unable to escape thoughts of you.
I left just as fast as I came
My attempt to move on was unsuccessful.
I thought I'd run into your friends
I expected to encounter your friends and inquire about your well-being.
And ask 'em how you really been
They would likely reveal that you've changed.
And they would say you haven't been the same
However, you are currently thriving while I'm still in pain.
But baby, look at you right now
Observing your current state, it's surprising how well you're doing.
Tearin' up the whole damn town
You are enjoying life and causing a stir in the town.
While I'm still here wrapped up in all my pain
Meanwhile, I'm stuck dealing with my emotional pain.
You make it look easy, way too damn easy
You make handling life look easy, almost effortless.
Ooh, like you don't even have to try
It appears as if you face no difficulties or challenges.
You make it look easy, baby, just teach me
I want you to teach me how to cope with life's challenges.
Ooh, how you get to sleep every night
You manage to sleep peacefully every night, unlike me.
'Cause for me, it's not easy, easy, ea', no
Dealing with our situation is not easy for me.
No, for me, it's not easy, easy, oh
Emphasizing that the difficulty persists for the speaker.
