Lyrics
The Simple Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never seen the city
Mainly 'cos you never wanted to go
It always felt like a weakness
So you, you never let it show
People when they change their minds
It's a tell-tale sign
They don't know what to talk about
But not you, you were never the one
No as quick as they come
When you've got something to talk about
Thought that time was a healer
But now you feel the days starting to ache
Used to live for the moment
But now you find it hard staying awake
When you smiled our hearts would fly
But now you decide there's something left to laugh about
It's a bridge then you'll get by
If it's a hole in the ground
I know you're gonna clamber out
Take the simple things you buy
Let them be your comfort and your guide
People when they change their minds
It's a tell-tale sign
They don't know what to talk about
Not you, you were never the one
No as quick as they come
When you've got something to talk about
Oh there's nothing left to talk about
There's nothing left to talk about
There's nothing left to talk about
There's nothing left to talk about
