It's taken me a while to realise but simple doesn't always mean happy Back then was simple, We were simple. Two in love, the other two in lust It was nothing to make a fuss about But We were simple The rest of my life lay complex So, your hands became my escape route, your lips a hiding place And together we made a distraction Just big enough to stop a ****, and your hands became explorers and together we mapped out My naked body Which, before you, I didn't think anybody could want. You made a tangled mind feel Simple. You made a scared child feel Beautiful.
But I never let you really in, never let you see, because what I wanted to find in you was me dressed in simplicity.
And now that part of me is complex I've lost that group That laughter That lightness But, what I have now, Who I have now, What it's made me I wouldn't switch it for the world. And that choice, for mayhem, That choice is simple.
I'll look back at those times and sometimes I'll yearn But I'll burn that bridge before I step again upon it.
