Wasted days, I’m caught up in the fruitless chase 
Wanting more than anything that’s come before 
And I wish I didn’t have to choose 
When I know there is so much to lose 

Cruel desires blind me to the simple things 
Lost in fires of passionate imaginings 
Cruel desires blind me to the simple things 
Lost in fires of passionate imaginings 

Simple things, simple things 

Holding out, feeling that it just might come 
Cursing doubt that keeps you from the perfect one 
And I wish I didn’t have to choose 
When I know there is so much to lose 

Cruel desires blind me to the simple things 
Lost in fires of passionate imaginings 
Cruel desires blind me to the simple things 
Lost in fires of passionate imaginings 

Simple things, simple things 

I’m torn between what I know and what I dream
