simple and plain
everclear
this is my life simple and plain
yeah. i will never change
i was born into a house of hate
pain was my brother from the age of 8
in a place of violence he kept me safe
he was the only good thing
pain was there when he needed to be
when there was no way out
i wish sometimes i had nothing to say
i wish i could smile and nod and fade
i wish my life was a video game
i wish i was easy like a government day
i take all the air out of every room
this is me this is what i do
when i fall down and it all goes wrong
it makes me better it makes me strong
you can do what you like to do
or you can do what you have to do
i will do what i have to do
to make all your nightmares come true
i love my life every single day
show me that you have found a better way
i love the way that i love my life
show me a life without mistakes
turn me around if you think you can
bring me down if you think you can
knock me down if you think you can
