"Easy"
(duet with Natasha Bedingfield)

We broke up
yeah, it's tough
most guys would've been crushed
Wastin' their time
Wonderin' where they went wrong
No way, not me
Hey, I'm doing just fine
I'm not afraid of movin' on

It's easy going out on a Friday night
Easy every time I see her out
I can smile, live it up
The way a single guy does
But what she, what she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy

[Natasha Bedingfield]
The truth is
That I miss lyin' in those arms of his
But I don't ever let it show
I laugh and I act like
I'm having the time of my life
as far as he knows

It's easy goin' out on a Friday night
Easy, everytime I see him out
I can smile, live it up
The way a single girl does
But, what he, what he don't know
is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy
Oh, it's easy

Oh, it's easy goin' out on a Friday night
Oh, it's easy every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up
Forget about the way it was
But what she
Oh, what he don't know
What she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy
Look so easy

It’s easy going out and acting like you’re having the time of your life. It’s easy to act like you’re happy. It’s easy to act like you don’t care, in reality; it might be killing you inside. When people break up, you want the cover that you’re strong, you want the cover that you can go on without the other. You want to be able to go out in public and see the other and be perfectly fine. This is what these lyrics are saying. It looks easy going out, looking happy, but in reality it’s really hard, its hard making it look easy.

In Natasha Bedingfields part she is saying how she misses being in those arms of his, but she never lets it show. She makes it look like she is fine without him. They both are hurting inside but acting like they are fine.

shoplifter

Average day at the job. Guy looks threw the cameras mindlessly trying to get himself the least bit entertained. Little baby crying, women trying to decide what toilet paper to buy. Just another day at the job till wait.... what is that woman doing? She is looking around aimlessly holding some medicine really tightly. Why is she just holding that and not putting it in her cart? With a couple minutes of holding it she just sticks it in her bag. So his job is to keep everything under control, so what does he do now.

My husband has been really sick for a long time with a couple nights in the hospital. Also with all this he lost his very good paying job. We are doing all we can to survive in this family. So when he said he ran out of medicine i didn't know what to do. With no money I had to do it. Who care if I get caught and put in jail? Id rather have my husband alive!

Dont Miss Out

You will always miss opportunity if you dont take any chances. For me, they biggest opportunity I have taken is the chance to play soccer at a college. It was hard to get recruited to the double A college, but for every student athlete it is. The whole time I could have just quit and gave up, but then I would have never got the opportunitys to grow as a student athlete. I still dont know how it is going to be yet. Now i dont have to look bad and think "what if?" I am doing all I can to not miss opportunitys. I believe that all opportuntiys make you grow in some way. If you want something so bad, dont give up on it.

Best Friend

When you are little you don’t realize how fast time flies. You think you’re locked in this world that time stops. You believe that you will never be as old as your parents that would be a sin. I had an amazing childhood. And threw that whole childhood there was a girl that was with me the whole way. She was my best friend. We would hang out every day. She lived across the street from me so it was just a walk over. We promised each other every day that we were going to be friends forever. Down to the sleepovers, playing house, and those amazing magic carpet rides. Nothing was going to change that. Well now we hardly talk. People may ask what happened. Well life happens. You constantly grow out of stuff. We move on. If anyone asks me who my best friend is. I would say Shelby Edwards.
