| Easy come, easy go he said
|
| And didn’t think twice about what it meant
|
| And if we have to do it all again
|
| Then let your love shine down now
|
| Let light shine down
|
| Let your light shine
|
| Let your light shine down
|
| Don’t get it twisted, this is not some bittersweet symphony
|
| We had a thing, fucked it up, now you don’t talk to me
|
| I guess I could’a been better than I was, better than I was I guess
|
| But in the end you chose to leave and left a great big mess
|
| It’s not okay, that’s okay, it’s just the way it was
|
| You gave me sweet fuck-all except, I suppose, I got this song
|
| And then you ran ‘em up, put me out, in denial
|
| I made my mind up, wait a while, but then, that wasn’t your style (Nah)
|
| And I’ve been here before, tryin' to unlock broken doors
|
| Got a whole lot of «just because», just before I cut those cords
|
| But I cut my teeth, made my peace, got back on that horse
|
| I rode east, rode that beast, outta town into a new dawn
|
| Now I don’t think about you all that much, not these days
|
| Memories like music notes, they ring out loud, then fade away
|
| And like the song that’s the single, successful, we got played
|
| Let that love light shine on down, let that sadness serenade
|
| Easy come, easy go he said
|
| And didn’t think twice about what it meant
|
| And if we have to do it all again
|
| Then let your love shine down now
|
| Let light shine down
|
| Let your light shine
|
| Let your light shine down
|
| Don’t get it twisted, this is not exactly what you thought
|
| Don’t gimme no platitudes about how love ran its course
|
| You oughta check yourself into therapy, I’m fairly sure
|
| You made it all about you and yours, so I guess I chose to walk
|
| Let’s not forget, you were absent, often out on tour
|
| Fightin' in those weekend wars, tryin' to get yourself adored
|
| Now you got something that you wanna say, you wanna talk
|
| But for what? |
| You’ll just perform, then get off on your own applause
|
| I know you’re good with words, I know you’re charming dear
|
| And I miss that thing we had when it began, what we shared
|
| You call up late at night and question me as if you care
|
| There’s no great mystery dear, when I needed you, you weren’t there
|
| Don’t call, don’t text, stop fuckin' around with my head
|
| You left me with no choice, so I did what I thought was best
|
| You’ll probably write a song and tell the world everything I said
|
| But tell me love, just how long did you sleep in an empty bed?
|
| Easy come, easy go she said
|
| And didn’t think twice about what it meant
|
| And if she had to do it all again
|
| Then let your love shine down now
|
| Let light shine down
|
| Let your light shine
|
| Let your light shine down
|
| Don’t get it twisted, this is just some distant history
|
| And there’s two sides to every story, both are incomplete
|
| Misery loves company, memory is an expert thief
|
| And you can fly with a leap of faith or you call fall and find your feet
|
| It’s been two years since we put fin to all our ish
|
| We’d maintained our distance, and I’ve maintained her one last wish
|
| We don’t talk at all, no contact, no content
|
| It’s like it never happened, just as if we never met
|
| And eventually we’ll both just be footnotes in each other’s stories
|
| Who knows? |
| We might just end up friends by the time we’re in our forties
|
| Or maybe, go crazy wonderin' where it all went wrong
|
| It came so easily, then just as easily it was gone
|
| Easy come, easy go he said
|
| And didn’t think twice about what it meant
|
| And if he had to do it all again
|
| Then let your love shine down now
|
| Let light shine down
|
| Let your light shine
|
| Let your light shine down |
