| [00:10.270] |
I knew a guy, I thought he was my first love, |
| [00:15.530] |
But he had to decide between me and the one before, |
| [00:20.500] |
And she stacked it all up, like a house of cards, |
| [00:24.720] |
Said if he didn't come back, he'd find her flattened on the floor. |
| [00:29.600] |
And though I went and lived in my own Hell, |
| [00:32.440] |
Thought that I could die as well, |
| [00:35.160] |
I let him go where he thought he had to go. |
| [00:39.260] |
|
| [00:40.130] |
Cause I never took heavy words for granted, |
| [00:45.030] |
And I never took the undeserved advantage, |
| [00:49.610] |
No I never took the easy way, |
| [00:54.100] |
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now. |
| [00:59.540] |
|
| [01:01.580] |
Out on the road, I had so many questions, |
| [01:06.620] |
I thought I would explode just for some attention, |
| [01:11.520] |
Like an acolyte, I saw the flames of towering tapers, |
| [01:16.030] |
Almost proselytized by those gleaming piles of paper, |
| [01:21.210] |
Yeah I watched those power huddles |
| [01:23.350] |
And their coats draped over puddles, |
| [01:26.200] |
And their "Trust me, baby, I'm the one you need." |
| [01:30.280] |
|
| [01:31.130] |
But I never took heavy words for granted, |
| [01:35.980] |
And I never took the undeserved advantage, |
| [01:41.190] |
No I never took the easy way, |
| [01:45.410] |
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now. |
| [01:51.040] |
|
| [01:52.650] |
We don't want to be the ones to lie and cheat and slander, |
| [01:58.130] |
So we hold each other up to the higher standard, |
| [02:03.000] |
But I'll tell you what; I'll never try to make it hard. |
| [02:07.910] |
Cause when you're hard just to be hard, |
| [02:10.160] |
The only thing that's hard is you. |
| [02:14.170] |
|
| [02:15.050] |
So here's what I took, I kept the wine and laughter, |
| [02:20.150] |
Until every path just grew up and ever after, |
| [02:24.800] |
Through the peaks and twisty canyons, |
| [02:27.230] |
I made many great companions, |
| [02:29.710] |
Best of all is the one who loves me like you do. |
| [02:34.270] |
|
| [02:35.150] |
Cause I never took heavy words for granted, |
| [02:39.710] |
And I never took the undeserved advantage, |
| [02:44.560] |
No I never took the easy way, |
| [02:48.950] |
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now. |
| [02:53.520] |
|
| [02:54.500] |
Cause I never took heavy words for granted, |
| [02:59.470] |
And it's much too late to even want the shortcut, |
| [03:04.160] |
Yeah, I never took the easy way, |
| [03:08.580] |
So you can take it a little easy on me now. |
| [03:13.510] |
Cause we know that easy's never easy anyhow. |
| [03:19.180] |
