A Simple Song

Don't say that your heart is broken

Don't say that your hope is gone

Don't believe all the lies they've spoken

Just put your faith in a simple song

You used to love them when you were a kid

You always saw them when they came to town

A faded poster on the bedroom wall now

The baby's sleeping, turn that music down

You'll grow, but we won't forget you

There was a time when you were young and strong

When the lonely world was waiting for you

And all it took was a simple song

Consequences

Consequences

Every time you look at me

Will you turn to what's they see

You think you love me

But I won't ever be

The girl you thought that I

Was simple disguise

The girl you miss

I will never be

I believe in the verse and chorus

I believe in the radio

I know the tune, but the signals fading

You were here, but you had to go

The song ends and the rest is silence

The moon is empty and the night is long

You lost the melody that helped you sleep

But don't be scared, put a record on

Play the one about the time I held you

The tune's familiar, but the words are wrong

There's nothing left, put the fade out now

It's hard to let go of a simple song

Consequences

Consequences

Every time you look at me

Will you turn to what's they see

You think you love me

But I won't ever be

The girl you thought that I

Was simple disguise

The girl you miss

I will never be

It's just another way of marking time

It's just a little help to keep you strong

I hope you hum it somewhere down the line

I hope you hold on to a simple song
