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
