Simple Things
Coming home to the screams
They fill her ears
The familiar sound
Fills her mind
And she'll remember these days for
The rest of her life
In her room all alone
She does things
She knows she'll regret
But puts her regrets behind
She
pulls out that piece of glass
covered in her blood from the past
And she feels a little pain go away
At last
She needs
Simple things
Just a friend
A little care
Maybe some time and
She just wants
Your love
To show her
There's more to life than just pain
Just to keep her sane those
simple things
Coming in late from school
Earning a kick and a slap from her father
She wants to let it out to someone
But wants to keep it cool
She
Cries herself to sleep at night
Trying to keep telling herself that she alright
But knowing that every single word's
A lie
She Needs
Simple things
Just a friend
A little care
Maybe some time and
She just wants
Your love
To show her
There's more to life than just pain
Just to keep her sane those
Simple things
He's beating
She's bleeding
Her fears
and her scars
Turn away from the blood on the wall
Broken glass
Broken past
Can't we do anything
Rather than just turn away
Today
And she needs
Simple things
Just a friend
A little care
Maybe some time and
She just wants
Your love
To show her
There's more to life than just pain
Just to keep her sane those
Simple Things
Simple Things
oh-whoa
They fill her ears
The familiar sound
Fills her mind
And she'll remember these days for
The rest of her life
In her room all alone
She does things
She knows she'll regret
But puts her regrets behind
She
pulls out that piece of glass
covered in her blood from the past
And she feels a little pain go away
At last
She needs
Simple things
Just a friend
A little care
Maybe some time and
