Uncomplicated Me Video (MV)

What else could I have done
Or so it goes
I could have sworn what I was holding
Was a slow unfolding rose
Those possibilities
A wolf in sheep's clothes
When those weeds grew up around you
They weren't letting go

And those words still burn inside my head
Son, don't screw it up
I guess the guy I was proud of being
Wasn't quite enough

I don't want to set your feet in concrete
I don't want to slow you down
I don't want to hold your hand
Just to say I am
Or hear I love you for the way it sounds
I just want to be your kind of simple
I just want to be your kind of free
I just want to be your uncomplicated me

I found myself wondering
Was it even you
Did the feeling of being unwanted
Cloud what was really true
I hope your search is simple
I hope you take that ride
I hope you get to the place
That you thought you couldn't go with me
By your side

But when you wake to find that the side of the bed
Is cold where I used to lay
Rest easy knowing
You wanted it that way

I don't want to set your feet in concrete
I don't want to slow you down
I don't want to hold your hand
Just to say I am
Or hear I love you for the way it sounds
I just want to be your kind of simple
I just want to be your kind of free
I just want to be your uncomplicated me

I just want to be your kind of simple
I just want to be your kind of free
I just want to be your uncomplicated me

I don't want to set your feet in concrete
I don't want to slow you down
I don't want to hold your hand
Just to say I am
Or hear I love you for the way it sounds
I just want to be your kind of simple
I just want to be your kind of free
I just want to be your uncomplicated me
