Almost Easy
Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm asked to compromise
'Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that's the way it stays
So how long did I expect
Love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains
That this is nothing new
I left you bound and tied
With suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But first you'll fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy
Now that I've lost you, it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong
Now let me make it right
(Make it all right)
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
(Mother)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You'll learn your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(But still you'll fall)
Come back again, it's almost easy

Line by Line Meaning
I feel insane every single time
Whenever I am asked to compromise, I feel like I am going insane
I'm asked to compromise
Being requested to compromise is driving me crazy
'Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
This is because I am afraid of change and just want to stick to my habits
And that's the way it stays
This is how it is going to remain, without any changes
So how long did I expect Love to outweigh ignorance?
I wonder whether love can ever overcome a lack of knowledge
By that look on your face
That expression on your face tells me
I may have forced the scale to tip
That I might have caused things to go wrong
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I am not crazy, I am not crazy
I'm not insane, I'm not, not insane
I am not crazy, I am not, not crazy
(I'm not)
I really am not crazy
Come back to me, it's almost easy
Returning to me is effortless, let's work it out
(Set it off)
Let's make a change and start again
Shame pulses through my heart
I feel embarrassed and guilty
From the things I've done to you
Due to the actions that I have taken against you
It's hard to face but the fact remains
Although it is difficult to confront, the reality is
That this is nothing new
This is a repeating pattern
I left you bound and tied
I restrained and controlled you
With suicidal memories
Creating memories that were harmful/destructive
Selfish beneath the skin
Regardless of my outward behavior, I am self-centered
But deep inside I'm not insane
Despite external appearances, I am not actually crazy
Now that I've lost you, it kills me to say
It hurts me to admit that I have lost you
(Hurts to say)
(It's painful to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I did my best to keep you but you left gradually
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong
I am currently failing to win you back because of the way I treated you in the past
Now let me make it right
But I want to correct my mistakes and make things right now
(Make it all right)
(Fix everything)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
It is almost effortless to come back to me
(You learned your lesson)
(You know what not to do next time)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
Let's try again, it won't be hard
(It's still your fault)
(But I still blame you)
Come back again, it's almost easy
Please come back to me, it won't be hard
