Easier

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 myself?

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?
