How could this be?
I let you have my trust for free
I let you walk all over me
Honestly, tell me
Did you think we could have stayed?
'Cause I think about it every day
You said that you'd wait
You said that you'd try
But when I looked into your eyes
I saw what I didn't want to see
The promises you made were make believe
And when I asked you how you're doin'
You said this is what you need (to)
SIMPLIFY
DON'T WANNA STAY THE NIGHT
DON'T WANNA LOVE ME BACK
YOU JUST CAN'T BE THE LOVE THAT I LACK
So silly how
We want it all and want it now
In case tomorrow don't turn out
Like it was supposed to
And tell me tell me tell me
Did you think we should have stayed?
'Cause I think about it every day
You said that you'd wait
You said that you'd try
But when I looked inside your heart
I felt what I didn't want to feel
Those pretty words you said they weren't real
And when I asked you how you're doing
You said 'Honey, here's the deal'
SIMPLIFY
DON'T WANNA STAY THE NIGHT
DON'T WANNA LOVE ME BACK
YOU'RE CLOSING THE DOOR
AND YOU'RE PAINTING IT BLACK
AND THOUGH YOU'RE TERRIFIED
YOU WANNA SIMPLIFY
DON'T WANNA HOLD ME BACK
YOU JUST CAN'T BE THE LOVE THAT I LACK
Love is tipsy when we are sober
Still I think it's worth crying over
And I don't want it back
I just want some time
