Lyrics
Simple Man
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.
Strained
It's not like I wanted it
To sit and wait until the finger points at me
Pain
Is something that you wrestle with
To keep it inside until it turns into disease
I can't stand the way it makes me feel now
What do you want from me?
Cause I am just a simple man
I'm better off alone
If you push me, I'll push back
I'm not taking anymore
Cause I am just a simple man
I'm better on my own
This is where I'll make a stand
I'm not taking anymore
Selfish
There's nothing more to make of it
How much more do you think I can take
Apathy
Is something that I'll never get
I can't seem to get free from this cage
I can't stand the way it makes me feel now
What do you want from me?
Cause I am just a simple man
I'm better off alone
If you push me, I'll push back
I'm not taking anymore
Cause I am just a simple man
I'm better on my own
This is where I'll make a stand
I'm not taking anymore
What doesn't kill me
What doesn't kill me
What doesn't kill me
Makes me stronger
What doesn't kill me
Makes me stronger
What doesn't kill me
Cause I am just a simple man
I'm better off alone
If you push me, I'll push back
I'm not taking anymore
Cause I am just a simple man
I'm better on my own
This is where I'll make a stand
I'm not taking anymore
Cause I am just a simple man
I'm better off alone
If you push me, I'll push back
I'm not taking anymore
Cause I am just a simple man
I'm better on my own
This is where I'll make a stand
I'm not taking anymore
