Easy
Tayla Parx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd give my right arm and my last, you wouldn't give me half of that
In return, that's too bad
You party on, you live your life
While I pretend that I'm alright
I'm okay, I'm alright
I thought that we would both regret
All the stupid shit we said
And laugh it off as we go back to bed
Thought there'd be a late night text
Askin' me where I've been at
This should be harder for you
But, baby, instead

You make it look easy, way too damn easy
Ooh, like you don't even have to try
You make it look easy, baby, just teach me
Ooh, how you get to sleep every night
'Cause for me, it's not easy, easy, ea', no

Did something click off in your brain to help you not think of my name?
Wish I could say the same
I tried to go out to a bar, and soon as I stepped out my car
I left just as fast as I came
I thought I'd run into your friends
And ask 'em how you really been
And they would say you haven't been the same
But baby, look at you right now
Tearin' up the whole damn town
While I'm still here wrapped up in all my pain

You make it look easy, way too damn easy
Ooh, like you don't even have to try
You make it look easy, baby, just teach me
Ooh, how you get to sleep every night




'Cause for me, it's not easy, easy, ea', no
No, for me, it's not easy, easy, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tayla Parx's "Easy" reflect the emotions of someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The singer wishes that they could move on as easily as their former partner has seemingly done. In the beginning of the song, the singer explains that they have given everything they had to the relationship, but their partner has not reciprocated their effort. This has made it difficult for the singer to move on, as they continue to pretend that everything is okay. The lack of effort from their partner has made the situation harder for the singer because they are left holding onto all the pain by themselves.


The chorus expresses the main theme of the song, which is the difficulty of moving on. The singer acknowledges that their former partner has moved on with ease, and they wish to learn how to do the same. They are envious of their partner's carefree attitude and how easily they sleep at night. The singer feels that they are unable to move on with the same ease, making it an overwhelming and challenging process.


The second verse explores the isolation the singer feels since ending the relationship. They try to distract themselves and move on by going out to the bar. However, they find themselves unable to enjoy themselves and end up leaving quickly. The singer wishes to know how their partner has moved on because they have not been the same since the breakup. The final lines of the song express the narrative's struggle to deal with the pain of the breakup and move forward.


Overall, this song displays the difficulty of moving on after a painful breakup, particularly when one person seems to have an easier time than the other.
