Simple Kind Of Life

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

A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life

A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life

A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
