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?
A selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple things,
A simple kind of life...
