easier to love you

[Verse 1] There you were, you're gonna make a scene Comparin' yourself to the person you were at age seventeen I put my suit on, and I tied my tie I look like someone I don't recognize [Chorus] And it would be so much easier to love you If you could only see yourself like me And wouldn't it hurt much less when you were lonely If you could only see yourself like me? [Verse 2] I found a letter, "Dear future mе I promise I'll take care of thе person we'll both be eventually I'll go to college, oh, oh, and get a bachelor's" I can't shake the feeling that I'll be happy by the time I'm her [Chorus] And it would be so much easier to love you If you could only see yourself like me And wouldn't it hurt much less when you were lonely If you could only see yourself like me? [Bridge] Please be disappointed in me Isn't it obvious I wasn't who you think? [Chorus] And it would be so much easier to love you If you could only see yourself like me And wouldn't it hurt much less when you were lonely If you could only see yourself like me?
