I knew a guy

I thought he was my first love

But he had to decide

Between me and the one before

And she stacked it all up

Like a house of cards

Said if he didn't come back

He'd find her flattened on the floor

And though I went and lived in my own hell

Thought that I could die as well

I let him go where he thought he had to go

Cause I never took

Heavy words for granted

And I never took

Undeserved advantage

No I never took

The easy way

So why don't you take it a little easy on me now?

Out on the road

I had so many questions

I thought I would explode

Just for some attention

Like an acolyte

I saw the flames of towering tapers

Almost proselytized by those gleaming piles of paper

Yeah I watched the power huddles

And the coats draped over puddles

And trust me baby, I'm the one you need

Cause we all want to be the ones

Who lie, cheat, and slander

So we hold each other up to a higher standard

But I'll tell you what

I never try to make it hurt

Because when your heart

Just to be whole

The only thing that's hard is you

So here's what I took

I kept the wine and laughter

Until every pack

It just grew up and ever after

Through the peaks and twisty canyons

I made many great companions

Best of all is the one who loves me like you do

Cause I never took

Heavy words for granted

And it's much too late

To even want a shortcut

Yeah I never took

The easy way

So you can take it a little easy now.

Because we know that easy is never easy anyhow.
