so easy to say

It would be easy for me to say
That after one look
I knew that I would look good on you
But the truth is
It took more than a day,
Maybe it took a week or even a month
For me to capture you in my dreams
Because back then the world was heavy
And for a long time
So was my heart
It would be easy for me to say
That you had me at hello
But it took some time
Before you got me
To remove the chip that was on my shoulder
And rest it on the night stand for a while
It would be easy for me to say
That I instantly knew that I wanted
My head to fit perfectly on your shoulder
And that I couldn’t wait to hear what your heart beat sounded like
But I was too into playing the game
And was not interested
It would be easy for me to say
That you didn’t shake me
And that you didn’t pull the rug from under me
That I the only reason I anticipate you is because
You caught me at a weak moment
It would be easy for me to say
That I was still playing the game
And that I didn’t think of you daily
That I didn’t care either way
And that I wasn’t trying to replace you

And that I knew where i fit in your life
It would be so easy to say…
