[Verse 1] I learned to read your silence Before you said a word I knew when to come closer I knew when not to hurt I gave you what you wanted Before you had to ask You called me understanding I called it holding back [Pre-Chorus] I got good at disappearing Without leaving the room I got good at being someone You could never lose [Chorus] I made myself easy to love Easy to hold Easy to need Never too much Never too close Never too hard to please You loved the way I knew you You loved the way I stayed But somewhere in between us I gave myself away I made myself easy to love I just forgot To let you know me [Verse 2] You’d tell me I was different I thought you meant I’d changed Maybe I was only quieter About the things that hurt I stopped asking for the answers I stopped asking for your time You thought that I was peaceful I was just losing mine [Pre-Chorus] I got good at being patient I got good at letting go I got so good at needing nothing You forgot I needed you [Chorus] I made myself easy to love Easy to hold Easy to need Never too much Never too close Never too hard to please You loved the way I knew you You loved the way I stayed But somewhere in between us I gave myself away I made myself easy to love I just forgot To let you know me [Bridge] And that’s the part I can’t forgive Not you Not me I don’t regret the love I gave I just wish I’d stayed inside it too You didn’t ask me to disappear I did that on my own Trying to become the kind of man I’d never leave alone [Final Chorus] I made myself easy to love Easy to hold Easy to need Never too much Never too close Never too hard to please You loved the way I knew you But never knew what I needed And somewhere in between us I became someone convenient I made myself easy to love Now I know That’s not the same As being known [Outro] I don’t want to be easy I want to be real
