Not That Easy
Lime Cordiale Lyrics

I'm taking back the old me
I'm reclaiming who I used to be

Pulling him out of the dark
I'm bringing that person back to light

You're making out like you want me
You're giving the impression that you want me

But all you wanna do is talk
But in reality, all you want to do is talk and not much else

You're taking down your old TV
You are removing your old television set

Float around amongst the stars
You are aimlessly meandering, not knowing what you want from life

You don't know who you want to be
You are unsure of your future self

But I don't want to be a part
But I don't want to be involved in that journey with you

Tell me what you want, and if I'm wrong
Inform me of your desires so I can adjust accordingly

So I can keep on running.
So I can continue doing what I was doing

Take back my own life
Reclaiming control over my life

Back down 'cause you're running me dry.
Stepping back because you are burning me out emotionally

I know, I know, it's not that easy
I understand that the situation is not simple

You're like a cassette on repeat
Your actions are becoming monotonous and predictable

Melted out of shape
Changed into something unrecognizable

Winding back on our old beat
Going back to a familiar routine

But no one listens to a tape
However, no one pays attention to old ways

I might have something left of you
I may still have remnants of you in my life

But you're driving it away
But your behavior is causing it to fade

You wanna see what I would do
You're testing me to see how I will react

I know you're tapping on a brake
I know that you're holding back

Well, I will keep on humming
I will continue with what I am doing, regardless

Takin' back my own life
Reclaiming control over my life, again

It's not that easy
It's not a simple thing to do

-Instrumental-
No lyrics, just the instrumental part of the song

I know, I kno-ow, it's not that easy
I know, it's not a simple task

Takin' back my own life
Once again, reclaiming control over my life

Back down 'cause you're running me dry
Stepping back because you are emotionally exhausting me

I know, I know, it's not that easy
I understand that it's a difficult task

Takin' back my own life
Taking ownership of my own life

Back down 'cause you're running me dry
Stepping back due to emotional exhaustion

I know, I know, it's not that easy
I am aware that it is not a simple task

Takin' back my own life
Reclaiming control over my life, yet again

Back down 'cause you're running me dry
Stepping back because you are draining me emotionally

I know, I know, it's not that easy
I am aware of the inherent difficulty in this act

Takin' back my own life
Reclaiming control over my life, again and again
