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 the 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?

when all i ever wanted was the simple things

a simple kind of life
