I'm Not Easy

verse 1:
Staring at the footlights,
going blind, I think it might be time.
I'm feeling a little tired.
But it's not easy, nor am I.

verse 2:
Shadows in the streetlights
making shapes, I think they might be signs
telling me to try
But it's not easy, nor am I.

chorus:
I'm not easy in the summer
and I'm not easy in the fall.
I'm not easy in the wintertime.
Come springtime I'm not here at all.
I'm just trying to write my mortal name up on the wall.
Trying to live a little longer,
trying to sing a little stronger.
Trying to write my name up on the wall.

verse 3:
Checking the rear-view,
seeing things I thought I'd left behind.
They're heavy on my mind.
I wish it was easier and I wish I had the time.

chorus

coda:
It's not easy, nor am I.
It's not easy, nor am I.
I'm not easy.
