| For a long time I was in love
|
| Not only in love, I was obsessed
|
| With a friendship that no one else could touch
|
| It didn’t work out, I’m covered in shells
|
| And all I wanted was the simple things
|
| A simple kind of life
|
| And all I needed was a simple man
|
| So I could be a wife
|
| I’m so ashamed, I’ve been so mean
|
| I don’t know how it got to this point
|
| I always was the one with all the love
|
| You came along, I’m hunting you down
|
| Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
|
| And all I wanted was the simple things
|
| A simple kind of life
|
| If we met tomorrow for the very first time
|
| Would it start all over again?
|
| Would I try to make you mine?
|
| I always thought I’d be a mom
|
| Sometimes I wish for a mistake
|
| The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
|
| You seem like you’d be a good dad
|
| Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
|
| How’d I get so faithful to my freedom?
|
| A selfish kind of life
|
| When all I ever wanted was the simple things
|
| A simple kind of life |
