Easy To Love Me Lyrics – Ellie Goulding

Easy To Love Me Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
She’s talking about how she’s always made excuses to avoid emotional closeness, pretending it’s easy to walk away from love. Deep down, she knows she’s the one who creates distance, hiding behind her fears. Instead of arguing or confronting things, she quietly pulls away, protecting herself from past pain that’s haunted her for a long time.

[Pre-Chorus]
She feels overwhelmed by her partner’s warmth and kindness, almost blinded by it. Even when she keeps making mistakes, the other person doesn’t give up. Despite her flaws and confusion, they keep choosing to fight for their relationship.

[Chorus]
She admits that loving her isn’t simple and that she’s aware of how hard it can be. Still, she’s fully devoted and willing to give herself completely. She recognizes how much effort her partner has put into reaching her emotionally, like wading through deep water, and she’s touched by that. She’s grateful but also a little guilty, knowing she’s not easy to love.

[Verse 2]
She describes her partner as someone who shows her beauty and hope, even when things feel fragile. She’s careful with her words, afraid to say the wrong thing, and feels nervous in their presence. Yet, she’s thankful for their steady support, especially when she feels lost or unsure of herself.

[Pre-Chorus]
She starts wondering if she’s too complicated or intense to handle. All her doubts and overthinking tire her out, but she realizes she’s found something real with this person. Even if things fall apart, she promises to stay loyal and keep trying.

[Chorus]
Once again, she admits that being with her takes patience. She’s honest about her emotional walls and insecurities but also shows deep commitment. She knows how much her partner has struggled to understand her, and she wants to honor that effort. Despite her flaws, she’s ready to love back with all she has.

[Pre-Chorus]
She feels amazed by how her partner can bring out her softness even in her darkest moments. She’s deeply grateful for their love and feels she owes them more than she can express. Even though she sees herself as fragile, she promises to be there whenever they need comfort.

[Chorus]
Here, she acknowledges once more that she’s difficult to love but expresses her wish to make it easier for her partner. She knows they’ve worked hard to reach her heart, and now she’s determined to meet them halfway. It’s a promise of growth, vulnerability, and a desire to love better.
