No one knew you back in high school Now you're barely twenty two You had your whole entire life Ahead of you Left town on the Greyhound Cause there's no love where you grew up They always told you You were never good enough But why, oh why are you making it Are you making it so hard Be easy on yourself, Be easy on yourself, Be easy on yourself, 'cause nobody's been easy on you To leave it all behind You didn't need to travel far You may have lost yourself but you found yourself a bar Yeah you got some boys, you were an easy choice But you didn't seem to mind You got attention and you didn't care what kind But why, oh why are you making it Are you making it so hard Be easy on yourself, Be easy on yourself, Be easy on yourself, 'cause nobody's been easy on you You started selling everything from a corner anywhere You got nothing to lose and you're too young to care But the men in blue, yeah they searched you And you knew you were going down You'd rather die than deal with word getting around But why, oh why are you making it Are you making it so hard Be easy on yourself, Be easy on yourself, Be easy on yourself, 'cause nobody's been easy on you easy on you easy on you Easy on yourself, 'cause nobody's been easy on you
