That Simple (Version One)

Don't you see what he has done to me?

All these lies he has planted

I just can't seem to escape them.

Oh, I wish it was that simple

To forget how I lost my innocence.

Tell me how I can rid these memories

And bask in a moment of ecstasy.

Oh, how I wish it was that simple

To leave the past behind with him.

I can't stop this shaking

As the pain seeps into my marrow.

Why can't he see what he has done to me?

How his lies have become me.

Let me tell you darling,

How I have tried to rid these memories.

Perhaps I drank until the past burned inside my head,

Or smoked until my thoughts were consumed by him.

Oh I wish it was that simple.

I could have been so beautiful.

Where did that little girl go?

Maybe she's hiding somewhere near,

Desperate for someone to find her.

Oh, I wish it was that simple.

Now look at what I have become.
