The Interrupters – Easy On You lyrics

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
Cuz 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
Cuz nobody's been easy on you

You 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
Cuz nobody's been easy on you

Started selling everything from a corner anywhere
You got nothing to lose and you're too young to care
Well the men in blue, yeah, they searched you
And you knew you were going down
You rather die than deal with working it 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
Cuz nobody's been easy on you

Be easy on yourself
Cuz nobody's been easy on you
