don t say that your heart is broken don t say that your hope is gone don t believe all the lies they ve spoken just put your faith in a simple song you used to love them when you were a kid you always saw them when they came to town a faded poster on the bedroom wall now the baby s sleeping turn that music down you ll grow but we won t forget you there was a time when you were young and strong when the lonely world was waiting for you and all it took was a simple song consequences consequences every time you look at me will you turn to what s they see you think you love me but i won t ever be the girl you thought that i was simple disguise the girl you miss i will never be i believe in the verse and chorus i believe in the radio i know the tune but the signals fading you were here but you had to go the song ends and the rest is silence the moon is empty and the night is long you lost the melody that helped you sleep but don t be scared put a record on play the one about the time i held you the tune s familiar but the words are wrong there s nothing left put the fade out now it s hard to let go of a simple song consequences consequences every time you look at me will you turn to what s they see you think you love me but i won t ever be the girl you thought that i was simple disguise the girl you miss i will never be it s just another way of marking time it s just a little help to keep you strong i hope you hum it somewhere down the line i hope you hold on to a simple song
