Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don’t wanna know, oh
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know you don’t want it any other way
Why you always lookin’ at your phone?
Watchin’ people you don’t even know
I can lay here by myself alone
Self alone, yeah
I don’t want us to be enemies
So I’m thinkin’ maybe I should leave
‘Cause you bringin’ out the worst in me
Worst in me, yeah
I love you so much that I hate you
Right now, it’s so hard to blame you
‘Cause you’re so damn beautiful
So damn beautiful
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don’t wanna know, oh
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know that you’re always gonna stay the same
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don’t wanna know, oh
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know you don’t want it any other way
Every time that you say you’re gonna leave
That’s when you get the very best of me
You know we need it like the air we breathe
Air we breathe, yeah
I love you so much that I hate you (Oh)
Right now, it’s so hard to blame you (Oh)
‘Cause you’re so damn beautiful (Oh)
You’re so damn beautiful (Oh)
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don’t wanna know, oh
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know that you’re always gonna stay the same
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don’t wanna know, oh (I don’t wanna know)
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know you don’t want it any other way
The hardest part of all (Da-da-da-dum-da-da)
Is that we’re only built to fall (Is it easier?)
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don’t wanna know, oh (Oh)
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know that you’re always gonna stay the same (Is it easier?)
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go? (Yeah)
I don’t wanna know, oh (Oh)
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know you don’t want it any other way
I love you so much that I hate you (Hate you)
Right now, it’s so hard to blame you
‘Cause you’re so damn beautiful
Navigating Love’s Uncertainty
“Easier (Remix)” by Charlie Puth dives deep into the emotional struggles of a relationship at a crossroads. The lyrics capture the internal debate many face—whether it’s simpler to hold on or to let go. Puth’s heartfelt delivery and honest words reflect the tension between love and frustration, as he questions if staying or leaving would bring more peace. The repeated lines about never changing and the allure of familiarity highlight the comfort and pain intertwined in long-term relationships.
The Beauty and the Struggle
One of the song’s most striking themes is the paradox of loving someone so intensely that it can turn into resentment, yet finding it impossible to place blame because of the other’s beauty and allure. These conflicting feelings are universal, making the song highly relatable. The chorus, with its memorable hook, reinforces the cyclical nature of love and conflict, suggesting that sometimes relationships are “only built to fall.”
