lyrics

EASY GO

Easy come, easy go we said
And didn't think twice about what it meant
And if we 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 on them

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 of 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 Ok but that's Ok it's just the way it was
You gave me sweet fuck all except I suppose I got this song
and then you ran a mile, put me out, in denial
I made my mind up wait a while but then that wasn't your style And I've been here before trying 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 out of town in to 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 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 on them

Don't get it twisted this is not exactly what you thought
Don't give me no platitudes about how love ran it's course
You ought to check yourself in to 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
fighting in those weekend wars trying to get yourself adored
Now you got something that you want to say, you want to talk
but for what, you'll just perform then get off on your own applause
I know your good with words, I know your 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 cared
There's no great mystery dear when I needed you, you weren't there Don't call, don't text, stop fucking 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 on them

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 can fall and find your feet
It's been two years since we put fin to all our ish
We've maintained our distance and I've obeyed her one last wish
We don't talk at all, no contact, no content
It's like it never happened just as if we'd 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 wondering where it all went wrong
It came so easily then just as easily it was gone

Easy come, easy go we said
And didn't think twice about what it meant
And if we 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 on them
