It’s Not Easy

[Verse 1]
Does it make you feel strong when you let the phone ring?
When you fight off the urge when you're tryin' to sing?
When you run in the dark from the shadows within?
Does it build ya back up, or knock you down again?

[Verse 2]
Does it make you feel tough when you close your eyes?
When you think of me when she's in disguise?
When you wake up cold in the dead of dark?
Do I slip in your head, do you feel the spark?

[Chorus]
Does it happen when you're paintin' out in black-and white?
If the sun appears gray, does it mask the white?
If you stow away your soul, will it go unnoticed too?
Can't make it better babe, it's not easy what you do

[Verse 3]
Does it make you feel needed knowin' you weigh on my heart?
Knowin' I can't tell you "no," and I couldn't from the start?
So now no matter what you do, I would get down on my knees
And put aside the hurt and shame, still manage to [?] and please

[Verse 4]
Does it make you feel alive to be the one who's in control?
To be the one who pulls the strings in the jaded puppet show?
To be the one who'd all but given up 'til he found his savin' grace?
You let your soul jump in so blindly while you stayed to save face

[Chorus]
Does it happen when you're paintin' out in black-and white?
If the sun appears gray, does it mask the white?
If you stow away your soul, will it go unnoticed too?
Can't make it better babe, it's not easy what you do

[Bridge]
I lay down, let you walk all over me
Yeah, I had a feelin' that's what you do
I laid down and let you stomp all over me
And I think you kinda liked it too
I laid down, you put your hands all over me
Baby, it's not easy what you do

[Chorus]
Does it happen when you're paintin' out in black-and white?
If the sun appears gray, does it mask the white?
If you stow away your soul, will it go unnoticed too?
Can't make it better babe, it's not easy what you do
It can't make it better babe, it's not easy what you do
It can't make it better babe
'Cause to tell it from my end, it's not easy what you do
