It's just not that simple...
I know how it seems from the outsideI know what you think you see
When you look at me
A clean cut
Loose ends all tied up
But it’s just not that simple
And I’d like to take your advice
To believe that it’s that easy
But you don’t know
And I know you don’t know
So I nod, and I smile
And I pretend to agree
But it’s just not that simple
‘Cause though I act like I’m okay
And I get up and live each day
Inside it’s a different story
That I’m not sure I can tell
If you opened me up
If you scrapped away all those layers
Un-zipped my sweater
Sliced open my skin
And pried open my ribs
You’d see
It’s just not that simple
Deep inside I’m such a beautiful mess
Just like most people, I guess
I try not to show it
But the truth is I’ve been broken
In more ways than one
It’s not all bad
It’s not all good
It’s not all black or white
It’s not something you can label
Explain or diagnose
It’s just not that simple
And I know you say you love me
Yeah, I know that I have friends
But still some days I look in the mirror
And I’m secretly so afraid
That I’m worthless
So, I know that I can trust you
I know you’d like to see me smile
And I do know that you mean well
But it’s just not that simple
I’m just not that simple
