Easy


/You're exactly the kind of girl I've been looking for.
I couldn't imagine needing anything more..
I think that now I'm ready to begin a serious relationship..
I'm ready to stop worrying about ruining our friendship.../

/Okay, so now I've said it to the mirror..
now I've said it to the mirror..
If I could only say it to you...
girl what would you do?/

/Oh and this could all be so
easy.
seems like I've said all of this before..
but saying it to you is different
it's not a well prepared act anymore.
being in love with you might not be
as easy..
as I thought it should be.../

/Girl, we've known each other since forever
and you can't tell me that you've never thought
about us getting together..
I'm not going to live in doubt..
whatever happens, I'm sure we can work it out./

/People say that where love begins
friendship ends..
sometimes I worry
sometimes I'm in a hurry
for that friendship to end and a real
relationship to end.../

/okay,so now I've said it to the mirror
and I've wrote it down with a pencil
and a peice of paper..
but can I say it to you?
oh, now that would be a grand caper?/

Oh, and this should all be so easy..
seems like I've said all of this to you
before..
haven't I?
It should all be so easy...
it's not a hustle anymore..
once you come through that door..
no time for me to be shy...

but being in love with you
isn't as easy..
not half as easy
as I thought it would be...
telling you I love you
is half the battle...
it's half the battle...
the other half is winning the
war-
inside of me./

and that aint so easy, baby.../

I also like the part "the other half, is winning the war inside of me"

That is very moving, and I think everyone can relate to that quote. But I also think if a person finds the right partner that their demons will eventually fade away.

Nothing is forever, unless you want it to be!

Only hold on to what is condusive to a better you, if the demons are holding you back, let them go, let them find someone more worthy of the pain.

Hold on to the good, hold on to the people in your life that are for your growth.
