Easier to Love You

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 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? I found a letter, "Dear future me I promise I'll take care of the person we'll both be eventually I'll pick up painting, oh, oh, and I'll join the gym I can't shake the feeling that I'll be happy by the time I'm him" 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? Please be disappointed in me Isn't it obvious I wasn't who you think? 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?
