Simple Song
Today’s a bad day for love, I got it twisted, all around a circumstance
Today’s a bad day for love, Cause I’m double-fisted, gonna smoke another cigarette
But the booze aint’ flowing fast enough to push a memory astray, it builds and burns two holes behind my eyes
One is for the memories and all the happiness inside, the other’s for my guilty pleasured lies
I sing a simple song, I’ll sing it loud, sing it deep, sing it proud, a simple song, from me to you for all the stupid things I do
Who needs another song about love? We’ve all gone brain dead, but we’re quick to jump in again
Who needs another song about love? It’s what we’re craving, and we’ll probably get hurt again
But every time it happens you get closer to yourself, a little piece emerges from your soul
And every time it happens you get harder on yourself, cause everybody’s scared to be alone
I sing a simple song, sing it loud, sing it deep, sing it proud, a simple song, from me to you for all the stupid things I do
A memory’s like a fingerprint that’s brushed across your soul. There for you to find when you’re alone. A memory’s like a fingerprint that’s brushed across your soul, reminding you that you’ll never be alone, cause everybody’s scared to be alone, and I don’t ever want to be alone
I sing a simple song, sing it loud, sing it deep, sing it proud, a simple song, from me to you for all the stupid things I do
