Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, this is just a simple song
About everything I've lost
And everything that I've found again
[Verse 2]
Now, I ain't been living long
What I've seen has been so far away from
What I was brought up in
[Verse 3]
Why have I been faking for?
When it's hard enough to be in this world
Who we truly are, truly are
[Verse 4]
I was so used to living wrong
But now I know it ain't nothing
'Cept a simple song
[Verse 5]
See I, done hid for years, y'all, yeah yeah
But I'm so done hiding
And if I were you, I would find the time to find myself
'Cause you don't know what life will do
What life will do
[Verse 6]
Oh, but this is still a simple song
Of how hard this life could be
When you have nothing that you're living for, living for
[Verse 7]
You can sing along, 'cause I know that you've been there
And you're loving, loving here
Oh, I need you to sing along, oh
On this simple, this simple song
