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 the 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?
When all I ever wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

"Just a Girl"

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes. I'm exposed, and its no big surprise. Don't you think I know exactly where I stand? This world is forcing me, to hold your hand. 'Cause I'm just a girl, a little ol' me. Well don't let me out of your sight. Oh I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite. So don't let me have any rights. Oh . . .I've had it up to here.

The moment that I step outside. So many reasons, for me to run and hide. I can't do the little things I hold so dear. 'Cause it's all those little things, that I fear.

'Cause I'm just a girl. I'd rather not be. 'Cause they won't let me drive late at night.
I'm just a girl, guess I'm some kind of freak. 'Cause they all sit and stare with their eyes. Oh I'm just a girl. Take a good look at me, just your typical prototype. Oh . . .I've had it up to here!

Oh . . .am I making myself clear?

I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl in the world. That's all that you'll let me be.

Oh I'm just a girl, living in captivity. Your rule of thumb, makes me worry some. I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? What I've succumbed to, is making me numb. Oh I'm just a girl, my apologies. What I've become is so burdensome. Oh I'm just a girl, lucky me.
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison.

Oh . . .I've had it up to! Oh...I've had it up to!! Oh . . .I've had it up to here.

"Don't Speak"

You and me. We used to be together. Everyday together, always.

I really feel, that I'm losin' my best friend. I can't believe this could be the end.

It looks as though, you're letting go. And if it's real, well I don't want to know.
Don't speak. I know just what your sayin', so please stop explaining. Don't tell me cause it hurts. Don't speak, I know what you're thinking. I don't need your reasons. Don't tell me 'cause it hurts.

Our memories, they can be exciting. But some are all together, mighty frightening.

As we die, both you and I. With my head in my hands, I sit and cry.

Don't speak, I know just what you're sayin'. So please stop explaining. Don't tell me 'cause it hurts. No no no no. Don't speak, I know what you're thinking. I don't need your reasons. Don't tell me cause it hurts.

It's all ending, I gotta stop pretending who we are.
