New Jersey native Lauren Frawley knew she wanted to be a singer from the time she was a kindergartner. In 2015, she drew the attention of labels, management, and millions of listeners when her uploaded cover of Alessia Cara's "Here" went viral. She was 14 at the time. Subsequent covers included songs made famous by the likes of Adele and Demi Lovato. As a high school student, she dedicated time away from school to practicing piano, learning to play guitar, and working on writing songs.
After finishing high school and signing with Island Records, Frawley issued her debut single, "Hard Boy," in mid-2019. She followed it later in the year with tracks including the Beck-referencing "Losers," "Easy," and a label-issued cover of the Cranberries' "Zombie." More singles followed in 2020 and 2021, including "Knocking on My Heart," "Austin's Song," and "No One Can Fix Me," the latter of which became her biggest hit to date. During this time, Frawley was racking up co-writing credits (Hunter Hayes, Dixie D’Amelio, Tate McRae, and Icona Pop) and working with John Legend. She kicked off 2022 with the punchy "Kiss and Tell" and the wistful "If I Don't Laugh, I'll Cry."

Frawley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I caught feelings I can′t shake
Side to side when I walk away (Mmm-mmm)
But we keep coming back for more
Babe I've said it once before
Leave your feelings at the door (Mmm-mmm)
You should′ve stayed away right from the start
I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry
It′s all fun and games when we′re ordering more
And now I'm just picking up clothes off the floor
And it kills me, oh it kills me
I could say I′m not addicted
Walk away at any minute
When it comes to loving you
You make it easy
And we both know where this is headed
When we wake up we'll regret it
Oh you make it so hard to leave when
Loving you is so easy
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-uh, oh (Loving you is so easy)
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh whoa, whoa
Oh you make it so hard to leave when
Loving you is so easy
I told myself that I′d be fine
I think about you late at night
Do you think about me at the same time? (Mmm-mmm)
'Cause even when I′m with my friends
You're on my mind at 3 AM
I type the text but don't hit send (Mmm-mmm)
You should′ve stayed away right from the start
But then we got caught up and took it too far
I′m sorry, oh I'm sorry
It′s all fun and games when we're ordering more
And now I′m just picking up clothes off the floor
And it kills me, oh it kills me
I could say I'm not addicted
Walk away at any minute
When it comes to loving you
You make it easy (You make it easy)
And we both know where this is headed
When we wake up we′ll regret it
Oh you make it so hard to leave when
Loving you is so easy
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-uh, oh (Loving you is so easy)
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh whoa, whoa
Oh you make it so hard to leave when
Loving you is so easy
You should've stayed away right from the start
But then we got up and took it too far
I'm sorry, oh I′m sorry
It′s all fun and games when we're ordering more
And now I′m just picking up clothes off the floor
And it kills me, oh it kills me
I could say I'm not addicted
Walk away at any minute
When it comes to loving you
You make it easy (You make it easy)
And we both know where this is headed
When we wake up we′ll regret it
Oh you make it so hard to leave when
Loving you is so easy
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-uh, oh (Loving you is so easy)
Oh whoa, whoa uh
Oh whoa, whoa
Oh you make it so hard to leave when
Loving you is so easy
In Frawley's song "Easy," the singer is confessing his difficulty in letting go of a person he had intended to just have a casual relationship with. He admits that he thought it would be a phase but now finds himself developing deep emotions for this person. Every time he tries to walk away, he finds himself returning for more, reminiscent of his partner’s spell. He confesses to loving this person dearly and finds it hard to leave them, even though he knows he should. The singer acknowledges that he is addicted to this person, and his attachment to them makes letting go hard. He knows that they will regret their actions and the situation will end in pain when they eventually wake up.
The lyrics depict the struggle between the rational part of the singer that knows he needs to leave this person and the emotional part of him that carries strong feelings. He tries to avoid contacting his partner, but they still occupy his mind even when he is with friends late at night. From his tone and message, it is also evident that he is a little frustrated with himself for letting his emotions get this far, yet he cannot seem to help it. The chorus 'loving you is so easy' embodies the struggle between his head and heart as he tries to let go.

I thought this would be a phase
I initially believed that the attraction was a temporary thing
But I caught feelings I can't shake
I became emotionally attached to you and can't seem to let go of those feelings
Side to side when I walk away (Mmm-mmm)
I feel torn and uncertain about leaving this situation
But we keep coming back for more
Despite the difficulties, we can't resist coming back to each other
Babe I've said it once before
I've expressed my concerns about this relationship in the past
Leave your feelings at the door (Mmm-mmm)
I'm asking that you try to detach emotionally from this situation
You should've stayed away right from the start
It would have been wiser for us to avoid getting involved with each other
But then we got up and took it too far
We pushed past the initial boundaries we set for ourselves and made things more complicated
I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry
I regret how things turned out and wish they could be different
It's all fun and games when we're ordering more
We pretend that our attraction is casual and that we can control it, but it's more complicated than that
And now I'm just picking up clothes off the floor
Our involvement has become physical and chaotic
And it kills me, oh it kills me
The circumstances of this relationship are emotionally painful for me
I could say I'm not addicted
I could pretend that I'm not emotionally attached to you
Walk away at any minute
I could choose to leave this situation behind and move on
When it comes to loving you
But the truth is that I have intense feelings for you
You make it easy
Being with you feels natural and comfortable
And we both know where this is headed
We both know that this relationship is not sustainable
When we wake up we'll regret it
When the emotional high wears off, we will likely have regrets
Oh you make it so hard to leave when
