6. NOTHING GOOD (COMES EASILY)

LYRICS

I want to be carefree

I want to change my fate

I want to rewind time

But I fear it’s too late

I want to learn to laugh

With abandon

Give me a polygraph

And I’ll paint your picture

Why’d you have to ask me

What I wanted to be?

Couldn’t you just let me breathe?

Nothing good comes easily

Nothing good comes easily

Nothing good comes easily

Nothing good comes easily

What a luxury not to know

To give a gift

And have it be received

I can’t sleep at night

Without these same old dreams

Call me uptight

But it’s a cruel joke

Living in the inbetween

Why’d you have to ask me

What I wanted to be?

Couldn’t you just let me breathe?

If getting a degree

Would make me happy, set me free

Honey, what a luxury

Nothing good comes easily

Nothing good comes easily

Nothing good comes easily

Nothing good comes easily

When the light shines down on me

Will it break the fantasy?

No more unrequited dreams

No more misdirected pleas

Nothing good comes easily

Nothing good comes easily

Nothing good comes easily

No, no, no, no

Nothing good comes easily
