[Verse 1] It looks like a feather Pinned to your sleeve Just one small motion And you’re free But my hands shake first At the starting line Simple from a distance Never simple inside [Pre-Chorus] One clean cut Turns into pain One small step And it won’t stay tame I try, I try Then it slips away Easy to watch Hard to make [Chorus] Easy to see Hard to hold Easy to say Hard to know (So hard to know) Easy on paper Hard in bone Easy to dream Hard alone (So hard alone) [Verse 2] You call it nothing I call it a wall All those tiny pieces And the whole thing stalls I line it up right Then the shape bends back One wrong pressure And it cracks [Pre-Chorus] One clean cut Turns into pain One small step And it won’t stay tame I try, I try Then it slips away Easy to watch Hard to make [Chorus] Easy to see Hard to hold Easy to say Hard to know (So hard to know) Easy on paper Hard in bone Easy to dream Hard alone (So hard alone) [Bridge] Count the turns Count the scars It never says What it is at first Soft in the hand Mean in the dark You think you’ve won Then it starts to work [Breakdown] One more try One more cut One more lie That I’m enough [Final Chorus] Easy to see Hard to hold Easy to say Hard to know (So hard to know) Easy on paper Hard in bone Easy to dream Hard alone (So hard alone) Easy to see Hard to hold Easy to say Hard to know
