Love Is (Not) Easy

(album: Phases - 2019)

Go ahead, just tell me I'm to blame
I know you need attention
Someone you can hold when I'm away
And I'm scared, I'm horrified of change
I know you want a child, we could talk it out
Mama used to say

"Boy, love isn't easy it's hard"
She said, "Boy, love isn't easy it's heartache
"Boy, see everyone leaves and your heart breaks"
But I still hold on
I'll still hold on

I think I got the message for a while
I'll disconnect and keep the heart safe
I replicate emotion
Medicate in doses that can help me feel the same way
It's easier to say we're just friends
Our generation made us that way
The type of friends who fuck
But when they fall in love they're too afraid to stay

But I still, still hold on
Still, I've been holding on
"Boy, love isn't easy it's heartache"
"Boy, see everyone leaves and your heart breaks"

I'm so done with love
'Cause like tears in the rain it means nothing
I said don't fall in love
'Cause love means nothing
