If only things were simple You and I Worlds rotating around would make so much more sense If the people who are rotating around us were whole But since we live on an egotistical planet And everything we see is only a reflection of ourselves What broken wretches we remain. Oh my dear If only things were simple Hate, pain and loss would dissipate And there would be no greener grass No fence at all Because my dear, If things were simple There would be no need for change Hope would not exist And we would graze where we were told along with the rest of the sheep Oh my darling, If only things were simple There would be no gilt No adventure No regret No mistakes No lies No lust No life I believe there is some truth to this egotistical world of ours In a land of oposites We are never content with comfort And are able to keep our souls You and I my dear If only things were simple We would be suffocating in the mundane
