Never Said It Was Easy

(album: Shoals - 2022)

The pain that I've found
I wonder if it slows where I'm bound
The pain that I've found
I wonder if it slows where I'm bound

It's a strange life that shapes me
Breathe deep on old memories
I was the blonde child with the milk skin
I had bad lungs they said was way too thin
At fourteen I was terrified
I wanted guts but then my stomach died
I was 24 when I saw the truth
That love burns

You said it'd be easy
You said it'd be easy
I never said it was easy

The pain that I've found
I wonder if it slows where I'm bound
The pain that I've found (You said it'd be easy)
It slows where I'm bound (You said it was easy)

The pain that I've found
It slows where I'm bound
