Easy (Stripped)

[Verse 1] I was holding on so tight All of my knuckles straining white Pins and needles in my hands Time to let go of perfect plans Was it all a premonition? Saw it coming, intuition's always right But I wanted to be wrong Learned to soften all my edges Tried to bend and take the lessons I don't fight what would have happened all along [Chorus] Cut me deep, but I stopped the bleeding It gets easier, but it's not easy I'm still standing and my heart's still beating It gets easier, but it's not easy Oh, but it gets easier No, it's not easy, believе me But it gets easiеr [Verse 2] I'm getting too good at goodbyes I'm not afraid when I'm alone I spent a summer with no friends I'm doing better on my own Or better than I would be doing before I'm not crying my eyes out on the bathroom floor Not pointing the finger, not cursing your name I'm not hung up on everything I could have changed [Chorus] Cut me deep, but I stopped the bleeding It gets easier, but it's not easy I'm still standing and my heart's still beating It gets easier, but it's not easy Oh, but it gets easier No, it's not easy, believe me But it gets easier [Bridge] I'm not taking it hard, but I'm not taking it lightly I was in the dark and then you struck me with lightning Straight to the heart when you said you were leaving It gets easier, but it's not easy I'm not taking it hard, but I'm not taking it lightly I was in the dark and then you struck me with lightning Straight to the heart when you said you were leaving It gets easier, but it's not easy [Chorus] Cut me deep, but I stopped the bleeding It gets easier, but it's not easy I'm still standing and my heart's still beating It gets easier, but it's not easy Oh, but it gets easier No, it's not easy, believe me But it gets easier [Outro] Okay, I think we have enough to work with, yeah? (Yeah, great) (Hey, hey, hey)
