Don't Come Easy
Isaiah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can tell by your eyes you want more than this
But can we be much more beyond these sheets?
No I don't, don't wanna mess with your head
But my love, it's hard to love again

It don't come easy and it don't come cheap
Been burned too many times to love easily
Don't mistake me, my love runs deep
But it don't come easy, it don't come cheap
No, not with me

I used to move in fast to erase my past
But it never works, no, it never lasts, no
In my mind I gotta get things right
Take it slow before I jump this time

No, it don't come easy, no, it don't come cheap
Been burned too many times to love easily
Don't mistake me, my love runs deep
But it don't come easy, it don't come cheap
No, not with me

And if you think I've got a heart of stone
You couldn't be more wrong, oh
You might think I've been afraid too long
Afraid of love

But it don't come easy
Been burned too many times to love easily
Don't mistake me, my love runs deep
But it don't come easy, it don't come cheap

No, not with me, oh oh oh oh oh
no, not with me, oh oh
don't mistake me, my love runs deep
But it don't come easy, it don't come cheap
No, not with me

Overall Meaning

In Isaiah's song "Don't Come Easy," he sings about the struggles of loving someone again after being hurt in the past. The first verse reveals that the person he's singing to wants more than just a physical relationship but Isaiah is hesitant to get too close because he doesn't want to play mind games or hurt the person further. Despite this, he acknowledges that it's difficult to love again after going through painful experiences.


In the chorus, Isaiah emphasizes the fact that love doesn't come easily or cheaply to him. He's been hurt multiple times in the past, and it's made him cautious about jumping into relationships too quickly. However, he emphasizes that his love runs deep and that he's not emotionless, but he just needs time to let his guard down and trust someone again.


The second verse reveals Isaiah's own realization that he used to use relationships as a way to forget about his past, but that wasn't a healthy coping mechanism. He knows he needs to slow down and take the time to get things right in his head before jumping into a relationship. He emphasizes again in the chorus that his heart isn't made of stone, but he's been afraid of getting hurt again.


Overall, "Don't Come Easy" is a heartfelt ballad that reminds us that healing takes time and that love can't be rushed.
