Lyrics to I Never Said That It Was Easy by Jesse Barrera x Melissa Polinar

YOUR LOVE IS LIKE THE FIRST DRAG IN THE MORNING /
IT’S THE FOG STILL IN THE AIR /
IT’S THE STREET LIGHTS IN THE EVENING /
A BROKEN HEART THAT YOU CAN’T REPAIR /
IT’S THE EMPTY BOTTLES AFTER MIDNIGHT /
IT’S THE RAINDROPS IN THE SPRING TIME /
IT’S THE PAINFUL REALIZATION THAT I’M NEVER GETTING OVER THIS WONDERING, I’M WONDERING /
JUST WHY I EVEN LEFT YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE /
WHY I EVER TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED /
I NEVER SAID THAT IT WAS EASY, NO /
BUT I’M LEAVING /
YES, I’M LEAVING /
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY DO I STILL HURT EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I PUSHED YOU AWAY /
I PUSHED YOU AWAY /
DO I FEEL THE LOVE RUNNING THROUGH MY BODY EVERY SINGLE DAY /
WHEN I TOLD MY HEART TO STAY AWAY /

MY MIND’S BEEN SPINNING ON A RACETRACK /
WITH NO WINNER AT THE END /
I’M JUST TRYING TO SEE WHERE LOVE’S AT /
NO TURNING BACK /
I AIN’T IN THE MOOD FOR A HEART ATTACK /

EVERYBODY’S ASKING WHY I’M LEAVING /
ANOTHER CHANCE TO MAKE A CHANGE /
I’M LEAVING /
TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN /
I’M LEAVING IF IT HURTS TO KNOW /
THAT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL WHILE IT LASTED
