Is it ever gonna be easy
Try so hard, please release me

I know the hum of your voice should be the sweetest sound
But I could never really get your feet up off the ground

Is it ever gonna be easy
Try so hard, please release me

You got the softest lips but the sharpest mouth
Always ready with a hundred different ways to cut me down

Get my back on straight, keep my feet faced forward
Stick my hands up high
Let the light give way on the hardest day
Then I hear you say...

Is it ever gonna be easy
Try so hard, please release me

Try to reach for your hand, but there's no colder touch
Try to be a better man, but I don't try all that much

Is it ever gonna be easy
Is it ever gonna be easy
Is it ever gonna be easy
Please release me

Try to say the things that I said before
That would make you smile
But the language, babe, that we used to speak
Has been dead a while

Is it ever gonna be easy
Is it ever gonna be easy
Is it ever gonna be easy
Is it ever gonna be easy
