thinking of the song easier by the crane wives as a locklyle, specifically lucy-centric post thb song and going INSANE

HEAR ME OUT LET ME COOK!!!!

"If you woke and I was gone from the house that we made our home" literally just Lucy leaving early in the morning and not saying goodbye.

"Would it bend you, break you, overtake your heart, like it did my own?" Not only did Lucy leaving break Lockwood's heart, but it broke her own heart to have to leave.

"And if I were someplace else, and if I were someplace else, and if I were someplace else, would it be easier?" Lucy reflecting on how "easy" it was for her to leave her hometown- it never hurt her as much as leaving 35 Portland Row hurt her.

"The only peace I have ever known is the peace I made with you." Lucy truly has found her true home with Lockwood and with Lockwood & Co. They were the first people other than Norrie who saw her truly as a person and not someone to use for money.

"I won't move, but I can't stay here, so what the hell am I supposed to do?" Lucy truly doesn't want to leave them, and it pains her to even think about it, but she knows that if she stays there she'll end up hurting Lockwood, so she knows that she has to leave.

"And if I were someone else, and if I were someone else, and if I were someone else, would this be easier?" Lucy realizing that if she wasn't her, or wasn't in love with Lockwood, or if she didn't love 35 Portland Row, then she wouldn't hurt as much, but she can't bring herself to distance herself from her feelings.

"I try to keep it in my head, the need to leave this empty bed, and be nobody instead, because it's easier." She's trying to tell herself that the fetch was lying, but she knows Lockwood and she knows how reckless he can be, especially when it comes to her, so she knows there's truth to what the fetch says.

"I learned to lie, I learned to grow, I learned to hold it for a while and let it go." She's convinced that she needs to cherish the people around her for a short time, otherwise she's going to end up with dead friends, just like Norrie.

"I learned to take, I learned to keep, please tell me someday I'll at least be able to sleep. Please tell me someday I'll at least be able to sleep." She is always going to feel guilty for leaving Lockwood and Co- she wants to one day be able to sleep with confidence in her decisions and knowing that she truly did protect Lockwood.

"And if I were someplace else, and if I were someone else, and if I were not myself, would this be easier?" She wonders how it would feel to be someone without her level of Talent, because that's what she's worried about endangering Lockwood with. She wonders how it would be to still be Lucy, but not specifically 'Lucy Carlyle' and what it would be like to not be terrified that she will end up endangering the people she loves the most.

"I'm at a loss for better plans, 'cause this is all that I have, so I'll just close my eyes and try to pretend that it gets easier..." Lucy truly can't think of any way to make sure that Lockwood stays safe, even if it kills her. Even if she has to convince herself that what she's doing is what's right, despite her heart wanting to run back to Lockwood and Co.

you're all so welcome
