Story Behind The Song
My friend of five years decided our friendship wasn't good enough for her anymore. She only thought of herself, and didn't care about the people she was hurting. But even though she hurt me in the end, it was difficult to live like nothing changed. All those good times were hard to let go of, and it hurt to know all the things we planned would never pan out. It's a complicated feeling to be angry with someone while still missing them.

Lyrics
It's been a slow four months
Since our last goodbye
Pulled one of your old stunts
Didn't work that time
I'm sure that my response
Took you by surprise
Became clear we'd end here
Now I'm done crying, I'm done venting
Can feel my heart it's slowly mending, but
Just because it's easier
Doesn't make it easy
Just because I'm happier
Doesn't make me happy
With how many plans we'll never live out
How I miss the nights we would drive around
How there's all these pictures, but no use for them now
Just because
Oh just because
Uh-oh
I wonder if you regret
What you said that day
Even if you took it back
Wouldn't change a thing
Cause I saw where your heart was at
So selfish and vain
Yeah pray that you change
But there's too many of our good times
That keeps replaying in my mind
Convincing me to not leave you behind
Some things I wish I'd forget
Oh I wish I'd forget cause
Just because it's easier
Doesn't make it easy
Just because I'm happier
Doesn't make me happy
With how many plans we'll never live out
How I miss the nights we would drive around
How there's all these pictures, but no use for them now
Just because
Oh just because
Oh just because
Uh-oh
Do you even know the pain you caused
Cause it didn't look like you cared that much
It still hurts but I found one big plus
I made my way back to Jesus
But
Just because it's easier doesn't make it
Just because I'm happier doesn't make me
Many plans we'll never live out
How I miss the nights we would drive around
How there's all these pictures, but no use for them now
Just because
Oh just because
Oh just because
Just because
