Being Simple Lyrics - Judybats

Hearts cannot be broken, they're small squishy things 

They don't break like glass but they bruise easily 

This one you bruise 

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 good but good is being simple 

Simple is forgetting 

And 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 latelyseems it's shrinkin' 

I wish it would speak 

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 

I want to be great but greatness is giving 

Giving leaves me empty 

Oh great emptiness
