Words and Music by Delaney Gibson
Lyrics
I could lose a man in 15 days or
Maybe even 15 minutes, over coffee
No advice from my friends, no act of God
Nothing, could stop me, you can't stop me
'Cause I'm a tornado, tearing through
Your tiny town of destruction, with
seduction
I'm making a mess of myself
Heart chipped debris
Once I asked if I would ever be happy
Once I asked and this is what you told me
You said,
Keep it simple
Keep it simple, stupid
Keep it simple
Keep it simple
Well, I shut myself away
I shunned the world
I slammed the door in their faces
Couldn't take it
Thoughts of being alone
Never building a home
A life wasted
Replete with regret
I can only hold on wholehearted when
things are wrong
I can only hold myself for so long, I
thought I was strong
Once I asked if I would ever be happy
Once I asked and this is what you told me
You said,
Keep it simple
Keep it simple, stupid
Keep it simple
Keep it simple
Don't you waste your energy
Worrying about things you can't see
Try to, Keep it simple
Keep it simple, stupid
Keep it simple
Keep it simple
I kept it simple
I kept my cool
I'm standing on Stanton
The fool
No one has ever filled
The space between
The person I was and who I wanted to be
Now you can't leave me
'Cause you said
Keep it simple
Keep it simple, stupid
Keep it simple
Don't you waste your energy
Worrying about things you can't see
Try to, Keep it simple
Keep it simple, stupid
Keep it simple
Keep it simple
I could lose a man in 15 days
Or maybe even 15 minutes over coffee
