Easy on Me Lyrics

I’ve become a stranger in the prison of my own skin

Watching you light up like a Christmas tree on the hottest day in spring

You were the resolution in the year of the black cat that I couldn’t keep

Making out like a bandit selling candles from your mansion under the sea

Yea maybe I’ve become a little bit jealous of the way you’ve made out in your life

I thought the words you spoke under the oath of blood bound us to our never-ending fight

And I know we’re grown-ups and we’re supposed to be able to take it all in stride

But I’m a little bit uneasy about tonight

Yea I’m a little bit uneasy about tonight

Under the pressure of living up to the man that you want me to be

I guess I lost my sense of direction and turned my back on the things that mattered to me

You took it all on the chin, looking back you were my only friend

So, that’s what I wanted to tell you tonight, I wanted to look you in the eye

Into those gorgeous big green eyes

Ten years down the road we’ll look back and be thankful for the good times that we had

But that don’t make it easier for me to lose my only source of light in a world gone black

And I know we’re grown-ups and we’re supposed to be able to take it all in stride

But I’m a little bit uneasy about tonight

But I’m a little bit uneasy about tonight

Take it easy on me tonight

But I’m a little bit uneasy about tonight

Take it easy on me
