  • Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?

    I bought you breakfast and you started your rings
    The air was fragrant and thick with our silence
    I held my breath as something deep inside pinched
    I touched the bump on your wrist you were born with

    Watching you trying to push away
    It hurts when you see it coming
    You're too proud to tell me that you care
    Watching you trying to push away
    It hurts when you see it coming
    Never use your words to show you care

    I think you know it
    Too cool to show it
    Babe, you're so good
    You're too good to be true
    I think you know it
    Too cool to show it
    Babe, you're so good
    You're too good to be true

    Oh
    Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?

    I let my pain out through the way that I sit
    And start to pick at the rips in my Nikes
    You quote Thom Yorke and lean in for a quick kiss
    But still you just won't admit that you like me

    Watching you lower both your eyes
    It hurts when you know it's over
    Still too stubborn to show that you care
    Watching you lower both your eyes
    It hurts when you know it's over
    I feel like you never really cared

    I think you know it
    Too cool to show it
    Babe, you're so good
    You're too good to be true
    I think you know it
    Too cool to show it
    Babe, you're so good
    You're too good to be true
    I think you know it
    Too cool to show it
    Babe, you're so good
    You're too good to be true
    I think you know it
    Too cool to show it
    Babe, you're so good
    You're too good to be true

    Oh
    Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?
    Oh
    Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?

    Oh
    Sunspots in your eyes, dark green
    You still mean the world to me
    Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?
    Why'd we make the simplest things so hard? Writer/s: Anais Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho, Paul Epworth
