Simple Man

I see lives crash like waves
 On the shore again and again
 In an endless cycle of joy and pain
 It's sad, one day your whole life can change
 Innocence torn away
 Trust gives way to a thicker skin
 A shield from the pain
 Or a trap that keeps it all in
 They tried to break me down
 I had to break away
 I woke up from that nightmare to start another day
 Oh oh oh oh oh
 Oh oh oh oh oh
 I wanna be a simple man
 With a little peace of mind
 Live a simple life
 In a place that's kind
 I wanna be a simple man
 With a little peace of mind
 Live a simple life
 In a place that's kind

 No poetry
 No symmetry
 Nothing left inside of me
 What happened to that feeling of invincibility?
 Broken up caught under the load
 Broken down by the side of the road
 They tried to break me down
 I had to break away
 I woke up from that nightmare to start another day
 Oh oh oh oh oh
 ♪
 Oh oh oh oh oh
 I wanna be a simple man
 With a little peace of mind
 Live a simple life
 In a place that's kind
 I wanna be a simple man
