It's not easy



Why do I keep doing this to myself
I keep on trying only to get hurt
You treat me like hell
You treat me like dirt
But for some reason, I'll never learn.

My heart is breaking
A continued aching
Trying to get over you
Isn't easy to do.
My body is shaking
A sad soul in the making
Trying to get over you
Isn't easy to do.

All the good times fill my head
But are taken over by the bad times instead.
Our love was toxic,
It shoulda been exotic
I love you but it had to end.

My heart is breaking
A continued aching
Trying to get over you
Isn't easy to do.
My body is shaking
A sad soul in the making
Trying to get over you
Isn't easy to do.

Its not easy to do.

When they say love hurts
They weren't lying
I don't know what's worse
Than laying here dying.
Trying to be strong
Stop myself from crying
Trying to right the wrong
Trying, I'm fucking trying.

My heart is breaking
A continued aching
Trying to get over you
Isn't easy to do.
My body is shaking
A sad soul in the making
Trying to get over you
Isn't easy to do.

It's not an easy thing to do
