It's Easier to Walk Away
Unveiling Love's Tough Choices
Lyrics
It started with a kiss
Initiation of a romantic relationship or connection with a kiss
It ended with my fist
Conflict or disagreement, possibly turning physical
And that's how it's always been
Describing a pattern of conflict in the relationship
We never mean to fight
Expressing an unintentional nature of the fights
We're making up all night
Reconciliation through intimacy
Is this a sinking ship?
Questioning the stability of the relationship
But nobody has to go
Expressing a desire for no one to leave despite the conflicts
Nobody has to go
-Nobody has to go home tonight
-It's easier to walk away
Acknowledging that ending the relationship seems easier than facing the problems
And tell me you don't love me anymore
-It's easier to walk away
-And tell me you don't love me anymore
-Oh, oh, but I know you love me still
Recognizing that love still exists despite the challenges
We all want love to be
Contrasting romantic ideals with the reality of relationships
An endless fantasy
-But this is real life
-We lose the butterflies
Highlighting the effort required for a relationship to endure
It takes work to survive
-So don't you give up on me
Pleading not to give up on the relationship
Nobody has to go
Reiterating the desire for no one to leave
Nobody has to go
-Nobody has to go home tonight
-It's easier to walk away
Repeating the idea that ending the relationship is easier
And tell me you don't love me anymore
-It's easier to walk away
-And tell me you don't love me anymore
-Oh, Oh I know you love me
Acknowledging the persistent love despite the difficulties
I know you love me still
-Nobody has to go
Repeating the plea for nobody to leave
Nobody has to go
-Nobody has to go
-Home is where you make it
Defining home as a place made by love, commitment, and shared experiences
Home is where you take it with you
-Home is where your heart is
-I will always be a part of you
-Nobody has to go
Reaffirming the desire for nobody to leave at the end of the day
Nobody has to go
-Nobody has to go home tonight
