Easy
Rascal Flatts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, it's tough
Most guys would've been crushed
Wastin' their time
Wonderin' where they went wrong
No way, not me
Hey, I'm doing just fine
I'm not afraid to move on
It's easy going out on a Friday night
Easy, every time I see her out
I can smile, live it up
The way a single guy does
But what she, what she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy
The truth is
That I miss lyin' in those arms of his
But I don't ever let it show
I laugh and I act like
I'm having the time of my life
As far as he knows
It's easy goin' out on a Friday night
Easy, every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up
Like a single girl does
But, what he, what he don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy
Oh, it's easy
Oh, it's easy goin' out on a Friday night
Oh, it's easy every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up
Forget about the way it was
But what she
Oh, what he don't know
What she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, and it's so easy, it's so easy
Yeah, ooh, ooh
The song "Easy" by Rascal Flatts conveys a message about how people often suffer in silent after a break-up. The song is about a person who has just gone through a breakup and is trying to move on. The main theme of the song is that although people may seem like they are having an easy time moving on from a breakup, it can actually be quite challenging.
The song begins by acknowledging the end of the relationship and how difficult it can be to move on. However, the singer of the song states that they are not like most guys who would have been crushed after a breakup. The singer implies that they are taking the breakup well and are not afraid to move on. They then talk about how easy it is to go out and have fun like a single person but while the truth is, they only do it to mask the pain of the breakup. The song concludes with the repeated refrain of how hard it is to make it look easy, and even if it may appear to be easy, it is not, and the pain still lingers.
In conclusion, the song is an introspective reflection of the aftermath of a breakup and conveys a message of how masking pain could be a harmful coping mechanism. The song tells us to be kind to ourselves while going through a breakup and not to take the experience of moving on as an easy walk in the park.

It’s 2024 and this is still the best cross over duo collab in existence in my opinion. Love Carrie and Jason, Carrie and Brad etc… but these two!!! definition of artistry and vocals. Listen to those dynamics. My word! Beautiful
@DaddyTre65
Rascal Flatts are masters of the heartbreak ballad!! Powerful and touching vocals by Gary LeVox and Natasha Bedingfield.
@sarahfaust
I can’t explain how beautiful Gary’s voice is. It moves me to tears almost every single time I hear that beautiful, magical voice. It’s not even comparable.
@thenickersonbuol

Honestly the best duet I've heard. Natasha Bedingfield's voice fits this song perfectly, and it seems like her and Gary have natural chemistry.
