It's easier
To forgive somebody else
Than it seems to be
To forgive yourself
And leaving her
To protect yourself
Doesn't feel like it does
Anyone help
Oh the crying
The grieving, the hurting
And all of the while
You feel the burden
Of all of your lies and greed
You're learning
Takes all of your time from you
So why
Do you feel you're burning?
When all of your life
The wheels were turning
Just open your eyes
And see it's working
And all that you've
Got to do
Is show yourself
How to know yourself
How to live with yourself
How to forgive yourself
It's easier, oh it's easier
It's easier
To point at somebody else
But what you need to see
Is what you've done to yourself
Oh and pleasing her
Just to save yourself
That won't heal you
Won't do any good for you
They tell me
Love, love
Is all there is
Love is all there is
So now
That you have earned it
Go show em how
That you deserve it
You were always allowed
To be just perfect
Now all that you've got to do
Is show yourself
What you owe yourself
How to live with yourself
How to love yourself
Cause love, love
Is all there is. Ted by Rachel Cairns

It's easier

You feel the burden
Of all of your lies and greed
You're learning
Takes all of your time from you
