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)
