We live where the focus is blurred
Down where the water is burnt
You try to have something to say
But the words just keep slipping away
And it melts my mind
The way you spend your time
That you still have the gall to tell me what is right
I'll have a simple life
If I was a shot in the dark
Then you were the brightest spark
If I had just one thing to say
I'd say don't let your hope fade away
I won't let myself
Be defined by someone else
Or what they earn
Or what they say that I am worth
If I could only meet
The kid I used to be
I'd tell him things are not as cruel as they might seem
And you can't burn the field to keep the snakes out
Without k**ing the seeds
Hold on one day you'll get a simple life
