Easy For You To Say
5 Seconds of Summer Lyrics

I see it in moments, it's comin' in waves
I catch glimpses of happiness, but they come and go, overwhelming me.

A sunrise in Sydney that's burnin' for days
A breathtaking experience in Sydney that lingers in my memory.

But I'm headstrong and stubborn and stuck in my ways
I have a strong will and resistance to change, making it difficult to break free from my habits.

With every tomorrow, keep turnin' the page
Despite the challenges, I continue to progress and move forward with each new day.

A youth that was stolen and filled with mistakes
My younger years were marked by regrets and bad decisions.

I turned all around, looked for someone to blame
I searched for others to hold responsible for my past actions and their consequences.

But I'm overdramatic and drenched in my pain
I tend to exaggerate my emotions and immerse myself in my own suffering.

I know that you saw it all over my face
You could easily perceive the turmoil and emotions I carry just by looking at me.

Last night, I lied
In the previous night, I deceived someone.

I looked you in the eyes
I gazed directly into your eyes.

I'm scared to find
I'm afraid to discover something.

A piece of peace of mind
A fragment of tranquility and clarity in my thoughts.

I swear to you
I promise solemnly to you.

Each and every time
Every single occasion or instance.

I'll try and change my ways
I will make an effort to alter my behavior and habits.

Easy for you to say
It's simple for you to express or suggest.

Harder for me to take
More challenging for me to accept or comprehend.

This nostalgia in my bones
This deep longing or yearning that resides within me.

Why can't I forget it?
Why am I unable to erase it from my memory?

Easy for you to say
It's effortless for you to state or imply.

I feel it in moments, this semblance of free
Occasionally, I experience a fleeting sense of freedom and liberation.

Between all the gaspin', I finally breathe
Amidst all the struggle and desperation, I'm able to take a breath of relief.

So I hold on so tightly in times that I see
During moments of clarity, I grip onto them tightly.

Someone with striking resemblance to me
A person whose appearance or qualities closely resemble mine.

A darkness that holds me and loves when I bleed
A shadowy presence that engulfs and takes pleasure in my suffering.

It locks all the doors and then hides all the keys
It shuts me off from potential solutions or escape routes, leaving me feeling trapped.

Wish someone had told me what I couldn't see
I wish someone had enlightened me about what I was unable to perceive.

A glimmer of hope that was starin' at me
A faint ray of hope that was right in front of me despite my unawareness.

This nostalgia in my bones
This deep longing or yearning that resides within me.

Why can't I forget it?
Why am I unable to erase it from my memory?

Easy for you to say
It's simple for you to express or suggest.

Last night, I lied
In the previous night, I deceived someone.

I looked you in the eyes
I gazed directly into your eyes.

I'm scared to find
I'm afraid to discover something.

A piece of peace of mind
A fragment of tranquility and clarity in my thoughts.

I swear to you
I promise solemnly to you.

Each and every time
Every single occasion or instance.

I'll try and change my ways
I will make an effort to alter my behavior and habits.

Easy for you to say
It's effortless for you to state or imply.

Harder for me to take
More challenging for me to accept or comprehend.

This nostalgia in my bones
This deep longing or yearning that resides within me.

Why can't I forget it?
Why am I unable to erase it from my memory?

Easy for you to say
It's simple for you to express or suggest.

This nostalgia in my bones
This deep longing or yearning that resides within me.

Easy for you
It's effortless for you.
