Simplicity's Rewards Lyrics

You live a life I wish I would
Free of worry, like I never could
You radiate beauty, the joy of your life
When it shines on through, world seems free of strife
A delicate flower, a jewel in the sky
That\'s what I think of when I see you cry
I could never do that to anyone
Not by threat of danger, not by point of gun...

CHORUS
Would you ever worry about me?
If you did, would it ever be deeper than this?
Friends by association, nothing more
A simple life you live, so full of bliss
END CHORUS

The entrapped world we live in, doors and rooms
It all seems so alien and weird to you
But when you\'re outside your life just blossoms
But then I see the future and I hit bottom
The answers are all black and white when you decided to see
Even when I asked \"What about you and me?\"
The simple answer, I expected just that
But it crushed my spirit, now I\'m laid out flat

CHORUS
SOLO

Rewards of a simple life, all tried and true
Reminds me of that day when I first met you
I asked your name, it was angelic invention
I told you mine back, the devil\'s complexion
As soon as I knew I wanted only more
But it was right then that you slammed the door
The answer was simple, well maybe for you
For me, I\'ll be trying to forget about you...

CHORUS

FINAL CHORUS
Would you ever look at me again?
If you did, could we ever be friends in here?
Just friends by choice, and nothing more
I wish I\'d never ruined your simple life, my beautiful dear...
My beautiful dear...
