Easier
Null Device Lyrics

Tell me one thing, she said
She asked a direct question, looking for information from the singer

Do you remember what we did in bed?
She wants to know if the singer still recalls their intimate moments together

The lines we used, the things we said
She's asking if the singer remembers any conversations and exchanges they had during their time together

All these thoughts now in your head
The artist has been thinking about these memories and experiences frequently

Not the lies I told you then
The artist admits to having deceived their partner before

Not the lies that might have been
The singer acknowledges the possibility of more lies that were never told

But they're torn and tattered
The memories are fading and are not as vivid as they used to be

And, she said, our love has shattered
Their relationship has ended and there's no chance of repairing it

Leaving's always easier
It's more convenient to walk away from a situation than to confront and fix it

When you've got someplace to go
It's easier to leave if you have another destination or plan

Break away for something more
Leaving can be seen as pursuing other options and opportunities

Running back down to the start
Returning to the beginning of a relationship or situation without progress

With nothing left to show
There is no tangible outcome or accomplishment from the situation

Tell me one thing, I said
The singer is mirroring the partner's earlier question back to her

Do you remember how we laughed in bed?
The singer is bringing up a specific happy memory from their past together

The parts we played, the lines unsaid
The artist is referring to the playful and intimate moments of their physical relationship

All these thoughts now in your head
The artist is still thinking about these moments and wondering if their partner is too

All the roles I might have been
The singer thinks about how their relationship might have been different if they had acted differently

All the roles that we'd pretend
The singer refers to them both pretending to be someone they may not have truly been in the relationship

Well, they're worn and battered
These ‘pretend’ roles are wearing thin and showing their true colors

And, I guess, they haven't mattered
The artist reflects on how these fake personas didn't matter in the end because they couldn't save the relationship

It's not easy
The artist admits that dealing with their relationship ending is not easy

Tell me it's not easy
The singer wants reassurance that their partner is also struggling in the same way

Do you remember?
The artist wants to know if their partner has memories of them together

Tell me you remember
The singer is pleading with their partner to acknowledge and share any remaining fond memories they have of their relationship

Tell me is it easy?
The singer asks their partner a direct question about how they're handling the breakup

Do you remember
The singer asks their partner again about their shared memories together

Tell me, tell me
The artist is urging and begging for their partner to share anything they remember about their time together

Will you remember?
The artist is asking their partner if they will remember them and their time together
