Being Simple Lyrics

Hearts cannot be broken
They're small squishy things
They don't break like glass
But they bruise easily
This one you bruised
Words will not be spoken
Never knowing what they mean
Sticks and stones hurt my bones
Your promises have broken me
Each one you break

And I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can't forget
I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
And I simply can't forget

Eyes are always open
Even when they sleep
Mine are mostly closed
While yours are wandering
You look where you please
And I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can't forget
I want to be great but greatness is giving
Giving leaves me empty
Oh great emptiness
Souls cannot be taken
They're large and they're loud
Yours merely whispers
Lately seems it's shrinkin'
I wish it would speak

Yeah yeah

And I want to be good but good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can't forget
I want to be great but greatness is giving
Giving leaves me empty
Oh great emptiness
And I simply can't forget
