No Ordinary Hunger
You showed me the song you wrote for her,
you called it, "Your Simple Way,"
I wanted to ask why you never wrote me a song,
but knew what you would say,
What we had was just too hard;
I wasn't enough to make you stay
You wanted something easy,
you wanted something free
Turns out you wanted someone I could never be
Now, you've found your simple love,
Where the fuck does that leave me?
I'm supposed to admire my replacement,
and compliment her easy smile,
I'll bet she has infinite patience -
at least, she will, for a little while.
I have to admit, the two of you
make more sense than you and I
You fit together, you're simply perfect,
and I wonder why I even try
I thought I could be what you wanted,
but I guess I never knew
Your simplicity is apathy,
but I guess it works for you,
I guess it works for the two of you
There will always be an easy answer,
if that's what you're looking for
Congratulations, now you have someone
you can abuse and ignore
I'm angry, and I'm selfish,
and I won't apologize
Maybe I should be a better person,
But maybe you shouldn't be surprised,
All I wanted was to love you,
and I find myself denied,
and it's just that simple
I wrote all the angry poetry
I didn't even know I had in me,
And now I'm feeling better out of spite,
You're a coward for leaving;
she's a fool for believing,
But God forbid I take a fall and pick a fight
Sure, you and I can still be friends,
even though you'll never make amends,
And I may forgive you someday,
but it won't be tonight.
I offered you something better than simplicity
I offered you me.
I offered you me.
I'm angry, and I'm selfish,
and I won't apologize
Maybe I should be a better person,
But maybe you shouldn't be surprised,
All I wanted was to love you,
and I find myself denied,
and it's just that simple
