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 the simple things 
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 
I always was the one with all the love 
You came along, I'm hunting you down 

Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight 
And all I wanted was the simple things 
A simple kind of life 

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 those 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
