From the recording Stories from an Old Set of Strings
Lyrics
There was a time
Before you came around
When it all seemed so simple
My life was so buttoned down
But then you stole a glance
And threw a wrench in my plans
Now it feels like my next move
Is in someone else's hands
CHORUS
You were easy to fall for
and hard to let go
I just wanted you to need me
more than you know
but that’s not how it’s meant to be
still this memory of you just won’t leave
cuz you were easy to fall for
and hard to let go
There was a time
I thought I'd seen it all
There was no way to get through
The walls around my soul
But just one look at you
And everything changed
I thought that I'd found someone
to carry my flame
CHORUS
You were easy to fall for
and hard to let go
I just wanted you to need me
more than you know
but that’s not how it’s meant to be
still this memory of you just won’t leave
cuz you were easy to fall for
and hard to let go
MIDDLE 8
Now that you're out of my life
Every thought of you cuts like a knife
Every time that I walk out the door
feels like a roll of the dice
Cuz I don't think I can take anymore
I've been here before and I swore
I'd never feel this again
But here I am down on the floor
CHORUS
You were easy to fall for
and hard to let go
I just wanted you to need me
more than you know
but that’s not how it’s meant to be
still this memory of you just won’t leave
cuz you were easy to fall for
and hard to let go
