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
