If It Were Easy

I still know the way your name looks Lighting up my phone at night Funny how some things disappear And some things stay behind I changed the sheets in my bedroom Took your picture off the wall Put your old gray sweater in a box Down the back of the hall My friends say i'm doing better Maybe they're a little right I don't sit awake and wonder Where you are on friday nights But then a song comes through the speakers At a red light on my way home And for a second i forget I'm supposed to let you go If this was easy I would've done it by now I would've stopped looking for you In every crowded town If this was easy You'd just be somebody i knew But every time i think i'm over it Something brings me back to you If this was easy I wouldn't still feel this way Last tuesday at the grocery store I saw your favorite coffee brand I almost reached and grabbed two cups Before i caught my hand It's strange what stays after goodbye The little things you never see A song, a street, a morning drive Still finding their way to me I don't miss every argument I don't miss every night we lost I just miss the way tomorrow looked Before we knew the cost If this was easy I would've done it by now I would've stopped looking for you In every crowded town If this was easy You'd just be somebody i knew But every time i think i'm over it Something brings me back to you If this was easy I wouldn't still feel this way Nobody tells you how it happens One day, then another one You keep carrying less of someone Until most of them are gone I don't wanna go back there I don't wanna lose myself I just thought by now your memory Would sit a little farther on the shelf If this was easy I would've done it by now I would've closed the door behind me Without turning around If this was easy You'd just be somebody i knew But some hearts take a little longer To stop running back to you If this was easy I wouldn't still feel this way I still know the way your name looks Lighting up my phone at night If this was easy I'd forget you tonight
