judybats "being simple"
I haven’t heard this song in 12 years.
Hearts cannot be broken
They’re small squishy things
They don’t break like glass but they bruise easily
This one you bruiseWords will not be spoken
never knowing what they mean
Sticks and stones hurt my bones,
your promises have broken me
each one you breakAnd I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can’t forget
I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
And I simply can’t forgetEyes are always open
even when they sleep
Mine are mostly closed while yours are wandering
You look where you pleaseAnd I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can’t forget
I want to be great but greatness is giving
Giving leaves me empty
Oh great emptinessSouls cannot be taken
They’re large and they’re loud
Yours merely whispers, lately seems it’s shrinkin’
I wish it would speakAnd I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can’t forget
I want to be great but greatness is giving
Giving leaves me empty
Oh great emptinessAnd I simply can’t forget
