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
