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 with shells

And all I ever 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
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

And 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
