Easy
Newman John Lyrics

Just another song, just another tale
This song is just like any other, telling the story of a heartbreak

Of a broken heart
The theme of this song is the pain caused by heartbreak

Don't wanna see you hurt
The singer cares about the listener and wants to protect them from experiencing heartbreak

There's something you should learn
The singer wants to impart important knowledge to the listener

From the start
This is a lesson that should be learned at the beginning of a relationship

My friend you ought to know
The singer addresses the listener as a friend and cares about their wellbeing

I'm afraid it's time to know
The singer thinks the listener is ready to hear the truth

Whoever said love was easy?
The singer challenges the idea that love is simple and easy

Should not have told you, oh
The listener has been misled about the true nature of love

'Cause every time you feel it, yea
Love is not just an emotion, it has physical and emotional consequences

A piece of you is gone
Every time the listener experiences love, they lose a part of themselves

Is it something that you want?
The singer questions whether the listener truly wants this

Something that you need?
The singer questions whether the listener truly needs this

Something you should know?
The singer wants to impart important knowledge to the listener

Do you know they told you wrong?
The listener has been misled about the nature of love

Write it on the wall, tell it to them all
The message of this song should be shared with everyone

I'm happy now
The singer has moved on from heartbreak and found happiness

Now you're standing tall
The singer is proud of the listener for standing strong despite heartbreak

Don't wanna see you fall
The singer cares about the listener and wants to protect them from further heartbreak

I know the feeling, is sweeter than ever
The singer acknowledges the blissful feeling of love

But I would regret
The singer knows that the consequences of love are not all positive

I'd rather tell you, now or never
The singer wants to share their knowledge of love before it's too late

Tears don't always dry
The pain of heartbreak can linger and be difficult to overcome

But tell em there's no lie
The singer wants to be honest and truthful about the nature of love and heartbreak

'Cause at the end
Ultimately, the truth about love will become clear

Do you know they told you wrong?
The listener has been misled about the nature of love
