Lyrics
If you saw what I see
It might catch you a little bit off-guard
'cause I know how hard you are on yourself
yes, I know?
if you heard what I hear
the echoing of memories and pain
don't you know it's no good being hard on yourself
don't you know?
when you try to
lock it up
it doesn't die
it doesn't cry
it never stops
it never slows
it never goes away
it never fades
until you see
it isn't you
it isn't me
it definitely isn't true
if you knew what I know
all those judgements wouldn't stand a chance
it's because you're good that you are hard on yourself
you don't know you're easier to love
you don't know you're easier to love
