Simple Things (Can Seem So Involved)

I’m tearing up my mail for the hundredth time
I can hear the screen door slam all night
I can feel my eyelids giving in
I grind my teeth as I close my eyes
I curse the dog for breaking wind
Fall asleep + begin again
Simple things (can seem so involved)
I’d love to run my fingers through your greasy hair
You say you don’t believe in love
I can’t believe in what you don’t believe
Simple things (can seem so involved)
I hate my life
You tell me not to all the time
Things are never clear (er) through your eyes
A thousand times
Simple things (can seem so involved)
