Never Easy Lyrics
Don't mind if you treat me bad again
I don't care any more
Life's too short to make trouble out of small things
It is better this way
I'm sort of laidback today
I close my ears when words come flying out
I have heard them all before
With just a lot of hope flushing down the drain
It is better this way
I am going away
I've tried and then some more
Instead of dragging the both of us down
Divide, separate ways
It's never easy this way
It's never easy this way
My palms are sweating
I'm barely aware of what I'm turning down
This awful life; that is what I've been told
I think it's better this way
I will regret it one day
I've tried and then some more
Instead of dragging the both of us down
Divide, separate ways
It's never easy this way
It's never easy this way
Talk to me, throw the ball back
I've been here before
There is no turning back
Talk to me, just tell it like it is
Just two afraid souls going at each other
At each other
We're at the crossroad
Going separate ways
Time to say it as it is
And if we bump into each other some day
It will be better then
And maybe we can start all over again
I've tried and then some more
Instead of dragging the both of us down
Divide, separate ways
It's never easy this way
It's never easy this way
I don't care any more
Life's too short to make trouble out of small things
It is better this way
I'm sort of laidback today
I have heard them all before
With just a lot of hope flushing down the drain
It is better this way
I am going away
Instead of dragging the both of us down
Divide, separate ways
It's never easy this way
It's never easy this way
I'm barely aware of what I'm turning down
This awful life; that is what I've been told
I think it's better this way
I will regret it one day
Instead of dragging the both of us down
Divide, separate ways
It's never easy this way
It's never easy this way
I've been here before
There is no turning back
Talk to me, just tell it like it is
Just two afraid souls going at each other
At each other
Going separate ways
Time to say it as it is
And if we bump into each other some day
It will be better then
And maybe we can start all over again
Instead of dragging the both of us down
Divide, separate ways
It's never easy this way
It's never easy this way

I'm surprised I'm the first to comment on this song, its really good! Its about a relationship that is going bad. He has decided to try something new, to try to ignore what the other person is saying. In the end it still doesnt work and he gives up, all the while hopeing it can work out someday. Sad and optimistic in a way, at the same time.
I disagree with you slightly, Luke. I think this is about a relationship that has gone bad but he is finally coming to terms with it. He's being very sensible by calling it a day even though he still has feelings for her.

Instead of dragging the both of them down, he's going to walk away and he knows that it's going to hard to do but he thinks it's the best thing for her.

He's been fighting back and forth but "it's time to say it is" and he's "laidback today" and can tell her calmly. He's making a tough choice and he's trying to reassure her (and himself!) that he's doing the right thing.
I caught the live version with Espen Lind-OMGah man-just amazing. :):):) The lyrics nail the whole-with or without love affair...
The song's a perfect tribute to going away and not looking back. (And hopefully stopping the annoying whining and the silly, pointless fantasies.) Lord, YES, it's a great song!
