Easy

It could be so easy
To tell you that nothing's changed
To act like it's all okay
And pretend everything's the same
It'd be so easy
To tell everyone that I lied
It was just something I had to try
But I'm back now in my right mind
But life's not easy

I don't make decisions lightly
And I know this one is huge
But how does me learning who I really am
Make it difficult for you?
And I mean it when I tell you
This has always been in my heart
So please don't say I need to be quiet
As I'm trying to live out loud

'Cause if you love me like you say you do
Why are you making it so damn hard
For me to speak my truth?

'Cause it could be so easy
To tell you that nothing's changed
To act like it's all okay
And pretend everything's the same
It'd be so easy
To tell everyone that I lied
It was just something I had to try
But I'm back now in my right mind
But life's not easy

For every voice in my head who says
"Be who you are"
There are twenty outside who say, "Don't"
There are millions of reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm telling you right now, I won't

So, if you're happy for me
That I'm living my life
Why is it suddenly so damn hard
For you to look me in the eye?

'Cause it could be so easy
To tell you that nothing's changed
To act like it's all okay
And pretend everything's the same
It'd be so easy
To tell everyone that I lied
It was just something I had to try
But I'm back now in my right mind

So, if you love me like you say you do
Why do you only love me if I live like you?

'Cause it could be so easy
To tell you that nothing's changed
It could be so easy
To pretend everything's the same
Oh, it would be so easy
To just cover up the truth
Oh, it would be so easy
So much easier for you
