I wish it was easier to be easy on myself Now, I'm bleeding out, but too proud to ask for help I'm a mess, but I hold it all together Why—the hell—can't it be easier to be easy on myself? I've got high expectations Keeping me low my whole life Focused on a destination Forever changing inside my mind Every time I feel okay I pull myself back down again Say, "I should be doing better." But if I talked to somebody The way I always talked to me There'd be no one left I wish it was easier to be easy on myself Now, I'm bleeding out, but too proud to ask for help I'm a mess, but I hold it all together Why—the hell—can't it be easier to be easy on myself? Oh, it's hard to keep my head up when I'm face-down Facing demons that I've gotten to know But I can't control. No more There's got to be some way to feel something other than this And be hopeful for the day when it is A little easier to be easy on myself Now, I'm bleeding out, but too proud to ask for help I'm a mess, but I hold it all together Why—the hell—can't it be easier to be easy on my—? Life can be so cruel, but not as cruel as me I wish it was easier to be easy on myself Now, I'm bleeding out, but too proud to ask for help I'm a mess, but I hold it all together Why—the hell—can't it be easier to be easy on myself?
