Pale Male & Orchestra - Simple Man (live)

Lyrics:
I’m a simple man
I can’t lie to people
I’m a simple man
I can’t replace people
And now she’s dead
Except it’s worse
She left the bed
But she left it cursed
How’s a change of plan
Enough to stop us?
And what’s a plan
Without a compass?
Want a different man?
Well I’m a different man
Wish we could be
Strangers again
This love is a condemnation
This love is a damnation
Oh in tears
Together we would only burst
Oh the only
Second chance I got was the first
She steals my sleep
Every night
Nightmares are too real
She has no right
She’s too close for me to reach
In the hands of another
I don’t care if they cheat
There’s nothing but "I miss her"
I laugh at my own naivety
I laugh cause I’ve got no tears left in me
Oh in tears
Together we would only burst
Oh the only
Second chance I got was the first
I don’t know
Is she lying more to me or herself?
I just know
These are my books on her shelf
On her shelf
