EASIER TO LOVE
[Verse 1] You never really knew me But you talked like you did You said some things so gently I almost let them in You made me feel remembered You made me feel like someone And for a little while I thought I could be loved [Pre-Chorus] There was a picture in your mind And a girl you thought you knew I didn't know the two of them Would never make it through [Chorus] You loved the version you knew The one you made up in your head And I wish I could've stayed there Instead of showing you the rest You never said you changed your mind You just quietly disappeared And now I'm left here wondering If I was easier to love Before you saw me [Verse 2] I keep thinking of that moment When everything went still I would've taken honesty I think I always will You could've told me something You could've let me know Instead you left so silently I didn't even get to say goodbye [Bridge] I wish I could go backwards Before you knew the truth Maybe I'd still believe The beautiful lie of you But I chose to be honest Even knowing I could lose And I think that's what hurts most— I would've stayed for you [Final Chorus] You loved the version you knew And she was easier to love She was everything you wanted Because she wasn't really real And I keep asking myself What I was supposed to be To make somebody stay When they finally saw me [Outro] I still remember your words You probably don't And sometimes I wish I'd never told you the truth Because for a little while... You made me think somebody could choose me
