Not an Easy Thing
(Hampshire/Kent)

It's not an easy thing to say or do
and even though I look the same as you
If you were inside of me you'd see that
nobody gets close enough to me

I have a troubled life behind me
You don't understand what's in my head

It's not an easy thing to watch it go and
even though I tried to let you know
If you were to stop and give up on me
it only makes it harder to believe

I have a troubled life behind me
You don't understand what's in my head

A verse & bridge melody by Rich and a chorus melody by Ben. NAET is a real team effort from the Mortimer Boys.

Outtake lyrics from the writing sessions include:

'And when my words don't come so easily'
'I just don't want to let it be'
'It only makes it difficult to see'
'When you've tried so hard to let me know'
'It only makes it worse to make you see...'
'I won't let anyone get close to me'
'it only makes it hard to make you see'

Sometimes you need a friend to help you when you're feeling down
Sometimes you need a friend to help you when you're feeling down

I know I don't belong here mmmm

It's not an easy thing misunderstanding
and I won't forget the things you've shown
If you were stop and give up on me
maybe I will stay on my own

I have a troubled life that holds me back
You can't understand what's in my head

Sometimes you need a friend to help you when you're feeling down
Sometimes you need a friend to help you when you're feeling down
