Uncomplicated Me Lyrics

What else could I have done

Or so it goes

I could have sworn what I was holding

Was a slow unfolding rose

Those possibilities

A wolf in sheep's clothes

When those weeds grew up around you

They weren't letting go

And those words still burn inside my head

Son, don't screw it up

I guess the guy I was proud of being

Wasn't quite enough

I don't want to set your feet in concrete

I don't want to slow you down

I don't want to hold your hand

Just to say I am

Or hear I love you for the way it sounds

I just want to be your kind of simple

I just want to be your kind of free

I just want to be your uncomplicated me

I found myself wondering

Was it even you

Did the feeling of being unwanted

Cloud what was really true

I hope your search is simple

I hope you take that ride

I hope you get to the place

That you thought you couldn't go with me

By your side

But when you wake to find that the side of the bed

Is cold where I used to lay

Rest easy knowing

You wanted it that way

I don't want to set your feet in concrete

I don't want to slow you down

I don't want to hold your hand

Just to say I am

Or hear I love you for the way it sounds

I just want to be your kind of simple

I just want to be your kind of free

I just want to be your uncomplicated me

I just want to be your kind of simple

I just want to be your kind of free

I just want to be your uncomplicated me

I don't want to set your feet in concrete

I don't want to slow you down

I don't want to hold your hand

Just to say I am

Or hear I love you for the way it sounds

I just want to be your kind of simple

I just want to be your kind of free

I just want to be your uncomplicated me
