about

A song about addiction and loss, both of others and of the self. A running theme of self-pity and self-flagellation runs throughout the tune, though it ends with a message of hope for the future.

Everyone has it tough sometimes, but that doesn't mean those tough times will last.

lyrics

He sank half the bottle for breakfast
Neglecting his lukewarm cup of tea
Excused himself from the office
Blaming issues with his sickly family

He said it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy being me
He said it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy being me

She awoke as the sun, it was setting
Head pounding with familiarity
The stranger’s warmth, she found fleeting
Her jaw, it was aching terribly

She said it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy being me
She said it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy being me

They passed the bag between them
Making the best use of their keys
Before the polythene was empty
They both asked for a promise to keep

Please make it easy
Can you make it easier for me?
Please make it easy
Can you make it easier for me?

Cos’ I can’t take no more
My eyes are red and raw
But I can see that we’re in too deep...

C’est Tragique!

One day, I won’t suffer
One day, I’ll be free
I hate to act the victim
But I play the role so gloriously

‘Cos it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy being me
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy being me
