Doria Roberts Simple Life
I played the victim too long
And I have paid some dues
But I have packed all my bags
And now I'm looking for something new
I got my ear to the ground
I have my nose in the air
And I don't stutter when I talk, no
I don't stumble when I walk, yeah
And it's clear like crystal
Black with fear
And I'm hard as stone
And it's wet with tears
It's like a pouring rain on a twisting, turning, flooding street
It's like a [?] under my tired feet
Lately, I am misunderstood
Don't even understand myself sometimes
But I have a good heart, so I do good
I have a good ear, so I can rhyme
But don't want to bе a burden to no one elsе
But I'm so damn tired of being alone
My heart's like a prisoner, she's doing time
My life's like a song, but it just doesn't rhyme
And it's clear like crystal
Black with fear
And I'm hard as stone
And it's wet with tears
It's like a pouring rain on a twisting, turning, flooding street
It's like a [?] under my tired feet
Oh, no wasting time retracing my footsteps
Trying to figure out where I went wrong
So you're trying to put together
Puzzle pieces but it
Didn't work, and it took me too goddamn long, yeah
Too damn long, oh yeah, too damn long
Sinners sin
Liars lie
Fires burn so those fires must die
And clowns laugh
And babies cry
These are the simple truths
Of my simple life
Yeah, yeah
And it's clear like crystal
Black with fear
And I'm hard as stone
And it's wet with my tears
It's like a pouring rain on a flooding street
It's like a [?]
It's like a [?]
It's like a [?] under my tired feet
