I tried to be a man no one could blame
Somehow I thought that I could live this way
All my ambitions I have quietly tamed
Denying myself every single day
It's such an easy way to fake that it's ok
It's a lie
I did everything bad
So take me by the hand
I'm just a simple man
I trusted you to stay right by my side
But you decided I would crawl behind
I've built a prison with some walls of shame
So much for letting you drive me insane
It's such an easy way to fake that it's ok
It's a line
I have to redefine
Everything that I am
I'm just a simple man
Take a minute to escape
Those overlooking shadows
You just have to walk away from lies in silence
You can see those loving ones
You may even learn to love
You can maybe even dress up with your inside outside
It's just an easy way
It's just an easy way
It's a lie
I did everything bad
I'm proud of who I am
I'm just a simple man
