“Easy As A Lie” (Verse 1) All I had to do Was forget the man who taught my lonely heart How to finally rest Forget the nights you held me Like God Himself had sent you To answer every prayer I cried into the dark All I had to do Was forget the way your voice Could pull me off the edge of myself Forget the way you kissed my forehead Like you were promising You’d never become a memory That’s all I had to do Just wake up one morning And pretend the greatest thing I ever felt Wasn’t real Pretend your laugh didn’t live inside these walls Pretend my body doesn’t still turn toward your side of the bed Like you’re coming home Pretend I didn’t build my whole future Around a man Who walked away from me Like I was nothing but a chapter He got tired of reading And it was easy… Easy as a lie (Pre-Chorus) Everybody said, “Just move on” Like love was a light switch Like I could scrape your name off my soul Without taking pieces of myself with it (Chorus) All I had to do Was forget how much I loved him Forget how my heart used to race Just hearing his key in the door Forget how safe I felt When the whole world was falling apart As long as he pulled me close All I had to do Was kill every beautiful memory With my own bare hands And bury them smiling And it was easy Yeah, that’s what I keep saying Easy as a lie (Verse 2) All I had to do Was act like I wasn’t angry Like betrayal didn’t crawl through my veins Every time I remembered How hard I loved you Do you know what it feels like To give somebody every soft part of you And watch them leave Like it cost them nothing? Do you know what it does to a person To hear forever from somebody Who was already halfway gone? I keep asking myself How could you hold me like that And still become a stranger? How could you memorize my fears My dreams My scars Then disappear Like none of it mattered? And the worst part is— I still miss you God help me I still miss you After all the sleepless nights After crying until my chest felt ripped open After talking to God Like He was the only one still listening I still reach for you in my mind And I hate myself for it But sure— It was easy Easy as a lie (Bridge – Explosion) No! This isn’t some graceful healing story This is me choking on memories While pretending I’m healed This is me staring at the ceiling at 3AM Trying to understand How somebody can swear they love you Then leave you drowning in it You didn’t just break my heart You broke my trust in beautiful things Now every promise sounds rehearsed Every “I love you” sounds temporary Every goodbye feels loaded before it even arrives And I’m angry Not because you left But because I believed you wouldn’t I believed you I defended you I chose you I thanked God for you Just to end up talking to your ghost Like a fool still standing at the altar After everybody went home (Soft Break) But maybe… Maybe God let you leave Because I was loving you Harder than I was loving myself Maybe this pain Isn’t punishment Maybe it’s rescue Maybe I had to lose you To finally hear my own worth again (Final Chorus – Huge Emotional Finish) All I had to do Was forget the man who became my whole life Forget the future I wrapped around your name Forget the warmth Forget the touch Forget the feeling of being chosen All I had to do Was silence every piece of me That still loves you And that should be simple, right? That should be easy But easy doesn’t leave scars like this Easy doesn’t wake you up crying Easy doesn’t make you question If love was real at all So no— It wasn’t easy It was agony dressed up as acceptance It was heartbreak pretending to be strength It was me surviving something I still don’t understand It was easy… Easy as a lie.
