⸻ “EASY AS A LIE” (Verse 1) All I had to do Was forget the only person Who ever made my broken soul feel safe That’s it. Just forget the nights We stayed awake talking about childhood wounds Like two damaged people Trying to stitch each other closed Forget the way your hand used to reach for mine In your sleep Like even unconscious You were scared to lose me God… I remember looking at you once And thinking: “This is what forever feels like.” Now forever tastes like grief. All I had to do Was pretend I didn’t build my whole future Around your laugh Your heartbeat Your existence Pretend I don’t still hear your voice In every quiet room I walk into Pretend my body don’t still love you Automatically Like breathing And people keep saying: “Healing gets easier.” But nobody talks about How healing feels like murdering memories That never deserved to die And it was easy… Easy as a lie. (Chorus) All I had to do Was forget how much I loved her Forget how my soul used to calm down Just hearing her say my name Forget the way we held each other Like the whole world was ending outside And we were the only safe place left in it All I had to do Was convince myself That forever was never real That every kiss was temporary Every promise had an expiration date Every “I got you” Was just another beautiful lie People say before they leave And it was easy… Easy as a lie. (Verse 2 — rage building) It’s realizing You were loving somebody honestly While they were slowly becoming a stranger in front of you That’s the kind of pain That rearranges your spirit I replay everything now Every late reply Every fake smile Every moment you said “I’m okay” While secretly falling out of love with me And I hate myself Because deep down… I knew I knew something was changing But I loved you so hard I convinced myself Love could save us alone It couldn’t. And now I gotta live with the fact That I gave my purest heart To somebody who wasn’t ready to hold it Do you understand how humiliating that feels? To still miss somebody Who destroyed your ability to trust peace? I used to thank God for you. Now I sit awake at 4AM Trying to understand Why heaven would send me something so beautiful Just for it to break me open like this ⸻ (All I had to do was unlearn the way you held my hand... (voice breaks) Teach my heart to stop its beating on your command... All I had to do was find a way to hate your eyes... And build a fortress from your sweet and gentle lies... To forget how much I love you... (whisper) ...to forget how much you meant... To erase a masterpiece that heaven surely sent... I gave you everything, even the parts still bleeding You gave me mixed signals and a heart still grieving Now I gotta act healed while my soul still screaming Like how you become a memory while I’m still needing? That’s what pain is Looking at old texts like a graveyard Hearing old songs and your face hit hard Trying not to cry in the damn car ‘Cause everybody move on but the wounds don’t scar right And I’m angry Not because you left me I’m angry because I would’ve NEVER done this to you Never. I would’ve stayed through the confusion Stayed through the fear Stayed through the ugly parts Stayed when it got hard But you? You let go of us Like what we had was replaceable Now I’m out here fighting memories Like they got hands around my throat And every night I ask God Why give me a love that deep If losing it was gonna feel like dying slow? (Bridge — spiritual explosion) But listen— All I had to do was unlearn the way you held my hand Teach my heart to stop its beating on your command All I had to do was find a way to hate your eyes And build a fortress from your sweet and gentle lies To forget how much I love you, to forget how much you meant To erase a masterpiece that heaven surely sent All I had to do was learn to live a lie All I had to do was watch our forever die (Bridge) All I had to do was make my heart a stone While it's bleeding on the floor, all alone All I had to do was smile while I'm drowning in the rain And find a way to cherish all this devastating pain All I had to do was teach my soul a different song While every single note of yours is where I still belong All I had to do was walk away and lock the door And pretend I'm not the one who's crawling on the floor Easy as a lie. …… polo energy
