Easier Said Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Hey, girl with the empty eyes
Open up, you know you look prettier when you smile
Look around, it's a decent life
You feel too much, pick up your feet and make use of your time"

[Pre-Chorus]
They sure know how to talk up a storm
Rain down on your pity parade
Trying to find the cure

Bask in your distress a little bit more
’Cause a sad face don't go away that easy

[Chorus]
Healing and patience are lovers
Don't place the blame on your heart just to shut ’em up
There ain't a rush to recover
'Cause it's easier said, it's easier said than
Healing and patience are lovers
Don't place the blame on your heart just to make 'em stop
Just take your time to recover
'Cause it’s easier said, it’s easier said than done

[Verse 2]
"Hey, boy with the painted frown
Listen up, shake off the cloud that follows you around
Think fast, change your mood, and be approachable
Man up, crawl your way up off the ground"
[Pre-Chorus]
They sure know how to talk up a storm
Rain down on your pity parade
Thinking they found the cure
Bask in your distress a little bit more
'Cause a sad face don’t go away that easy, no

[Chorus]
Healing and patience are lovers
Don't place the blame on your heart just to shut 'em up
There ain't a rush to recover
’Cause it's easier said, it's easier said than
Healing and patience are lovers
Don't place the blame on your heart just to make 'em stop
Just take your time to recover
'Cause it's easier said, it's easier said than done

[Bridge]
So what if you're a bit bitter before you recharge?
I mean, I spend my days complaining to a guitar
Remember, everyone is coping with their own scars
And just a little bit of time can get you so far, yeah

[Chorus]
Healing and patience are lovers
Don't place the blame on your heart just to shut 'em up (No, no, no)
There ain't a rush to recover
'Cause it's easier said, it's easier said than
Healing and patience are lovers (Healing and patience are lovers)
Don't place the blame on your heart just to make 'em stop (Make 'em stop)
Just take your time to recover (No, no)
'Cause it's easier said, it's easier said than done (Easier said than done)
[Outro]
Done, done, done, done, done
Done, done, done
Done, done, done, done, done
(It's easier said, it's easier said than done)
Done, done, done
Done, done, done, done, done
Done, done, done
Done, done, done, done, done
(It's easier said, it's easier said than done)
Done, done, done

Genius Annotation

“Easier Said” is a song about recovery. Instead of always seeking to be happy and ignore the bad, Alessia Cara believes that often times, basking in your sadness or having pity party is necessary. In the two verses, Alessia features society’s voice speaking out to people who are sad, urging them to look around and feel better already. Alessia disagrees with that sentiment, suggesting that feeling happier isn’t that easy and that it’s okay to just feel sad for a bit and be patient until you’re ready to heal.
