It Ain't Easy |
| I did it again, huh? |
| Yeah I know |
| I’m writing you a song though |
| It goes something like this… |
| You say one love, you can’t unlove |
| I don’t know what it is you’re trying to run from |
| Like you just, you’re trying to unfriend me in real life |
| I want it all real, nothing fake please |
| I don’t want to wonder what your handshake means |
| I don’t need to say everything I think I must |
| My ego’s trying to ruin everything I touch |
| What I mean though or what my point is |
| That you’re much more important than my point is |
| If I win an argument and lose your heart Lord |
| I hit the bullseye on the wrong dart board |
| I want to thank everyone for being patient with me |
| It’s a journey that I’m on, I pray you take it with me |
| And to «e myself that’s what this is about |
| «We live learn and figure it out» |
| Oh my God now… |
| It ain’t easy when it’s real |
| Just don’t leave because I still need your patience |
| And hear me when I say this |
| It ain’t easy when it’s real |
| In my heart you know I feel |
| All your greatness and baby we can make it |
| I want the real love, not the false kind |
| Not the one that need perfectness at all times |
| When it seems most difficult to keep me close |
| Is probably the time that I need you most |
| I let you down though, I didn’t mean to |
| Even the people who try, we get weak too |
| And when you said we were family, I believed you |
| Because I needed so bad for it to be true |
| Now is my heart that way? |
| Would I try to betray? |
| Is there any such thing as an honest mistake? |
| If what you need and what I have don’t match |
| That’s when we need the love thing to fill those gaps up |
| It ain’t easy when it’s real |
| Just don’t leave because I still need your patience |
| And hear me when I say this |
| It ain’t easy when it’s real |
| In my heart you know I feel |
| All your greatness and baby we can make it |
| (Tryna save the world, right?) |
| I’m a hot mess and if I’m honest |
| It’s not just one event but a process |
| If I’m tryna get out here and protest |
| Let me first save the world from my foolishness |
| Let me guard my heart from its harshness |
| Try to rid my truth of its falseness |
| If your beauty is closer than an arms length |
| You’d be hard pressed to tell me that it’s far fetched |
| I know I hurt you though, you took it personal |
| But what’s love if the essence isn’t merciful? |
| And I see no need for us to live with regrets |
| I’d rather just forgive and forget |
| Oh my God now |
| It ain’t easy when it’s real |
| Just don’t leave because I still need your patience |
| And hear me when I say this |
| It ain’t easy when it’s real |
| In my heart you know I feel |
| All your greatness and baby we can make it |
| I was thinking maybe not debate politics in the pool |
| Nah, just because it’s your daughter’s birthday party, you know |
| No, I feel you |
| Yeah, word up, email me about that |
| You said one love, you can’t unlove |
| I don’t know what it is you’re trying to run from |
| You said one love, you can’t unlove… |
| Trying to run from… |
