I try every way I know to tell you

I run down all my clever ways

Every smart, forever phrase

How am I going get a hack out another love letter

But you deserve better babe





The hardest thing for me,

Is true simplicity

But it's the only thing that's good enough for you





Every day I wake up later

I'm afraid to face the sun

I want to hide from everyone

Memory is bitter,

Tell myself I'm no quitter

But the gold no longer glitters babe





The hardest thing for me,

Is true simplicity

But it's the only thing that's good enough for you

Blood in a bucket

No rhyme, mainline, sunshine

And it's the nearest this boy's been to joy





And I do believe

I shall believe

I shall be free

On the day you say you need me

Need me

Need me

Yeah.....





I push the doorknob to the booze

I might try out for the blues

Aching and lonely,

What does it take to telephone me?

I'm much too close to breaking





But I do believe,

I shall believe

I shall be free

On the day you say you need me

Need me

Need me

Yeah....





The hardest thing for me

Is true simplicity

It's the only thing that's good enough for you

The hardest thing for me

Is true simplicity

It's the only thing that's good enough for you...

Yeah, Yeah...
