Simple and Easy

Nothing's Worth Getting That Frustrated

Lyrics:

[verse 1]

last night

you said you liked

the shape of my eyes

and it felt too specific

for me to call it lies

then i yawned

three times

before i confessed

"that last one made me cry"

and you said i should rest

while you laughed at me

under your breath

and watched me fall

asleep in your arms

without touching me at all

and somehow i trusted

your voice more thoroughly

than any of the hands

that had ever held me

because being held had always

turned into suffocation

and you were the first one

that ever made it feel like salvation

[chorus]

shouldn't it be simple?

and couldn't it be easy?

i just wanna know why

it takes so much effort

to be around me

cause nothing here feels

too complicated

and nothing's worth

getting that frustrated

so i keep returning

to that same old fantasy

where i just cry

and nobody

comes to try and rescue me

they just stay

and they let me be

while i allow myself

to finally

trust safety

[verse 2]

i woke up too late

feeling all of this anxiety

i was already stressing

that you'd be tired of me

i was waiting for the anger

or maybe some disappointment

or for your voice to turn

into avoidance

but you stayed so steady

like you already knew

sometimes this is just what

my mind has to do

and every word that was spoken

made room for my thoughts

instead of you telling me

to just turn my mind off

i'm still getting surprised

by the ordinary things

and how calm can exist

through every feeling

[breakdown]

maybe that's all

that i've ever been chasing

not grand gestures, not saving

not fixing, not changing

just someone

that's not quick to react

and who stays consistent

maybe i just needed someone

who could see my intent

[bridge]

baby,

do you think you could maybe

just call?

and let me hear it

in your voice

can we let the patterns

make their choice

just watch me unravel

while apologizing,

i'll fall apart

without you trying

to rebuild me

little by little

cause maybe it

was never really

about them

holding my fears

like asphyxiation

maybe it was about

finding who could

sit beside it

without deviation

[final chorus]

shouldn't it be simple?

and couldn't it be easy?

i just wanna know why

it takes so much effort

to be around me

cause nothing here feels

too complicated

and nothing's worth

getting that frustrated

i keep dreaming

of that fantasy

where i can just cry

and nobody

gets angry

they just stay

they don't leave

they don't need

a better version

of me

i just want

a place that's calm

maybe that's

what i always wanted

all along

so baby

if you're there

just call

and let me

hear it in your tone

until i fall

back into myself

without having to

fall into this alone
