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 a simple thing

A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life

A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life

A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life

A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
A simple kind of life
