Oh, what I’d give to be
meeting you as the glass-half-full version of me.
I was easier than I am now,
would’ve folded, but I can’t now.
Heard they say this emotion should be kind…
But I couldn’t make it
any harder to love me.
Your arms are reachin’
and your lonely heart is sobbing.
I know you’re frustrated
’cause I will not let you near me.
You say you can take it
but you don’t know how hard I can make it
Some boys you’ll never meet…
Well, you can thank them for why I’m so mad and reactionary
and for the graveyard in my stomach
filled with pivotal formative comments.
Meanwhile, you’re just tryna tell me I look nice. Ooh
But I couldn’t make it
any harder to love me.
Your arms are reachin’
and your lonely heart is sobbing.
I know you’re frustrated
’cause I will not let you near me.
You say you can take it
but you don’t know how hard I can make it
ahh
Oh no
Oh
I couldn’t make it
any harder to love me.
Oh, one day, believe me –
you’ll want someone that makes it easy.
