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 a simple thing 

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 

Ooh I always was the one with all the love 

But you came along, I'm hunting you down 



Like a sick domestic abuser lookin' for a fight 

And all I wanted was the simple things A simple kind of life 



Oh 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 the 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
