LYRICS

I wanna believe in us
I wanna be cool
I wanna be chill
But baby I've seen to much
Just being real
Can I be honest
I don't believe in luck
The more that you give
The more that you get
Don't wanna feel unsure
I ain't doing that no more

Yes I've been jaded
So go head and say it
Got my guard to high
And you know
And you know why
So complicated
But what's how we made it
I got my ways
You got your ways
Too

Remember back when we
Had nothing in between
Before we had these issues
It's nothing like it used to
They way it used to be
When love was so easy
I know it's sentimental
I wish it was that simple, simple

The thing about love
It ain't always simple
Don't try to be smart
Playing your cards
Put 'em all on the table
Why is it so complicated
Maybe 'cause that's how God made it
He's got his ways
You got his ways too

Remember back when we
Had nothing in between
Before we had these issues
It's nothing like it used to
They way it used to be
When love was so easy
I know it's sentimental
I wish it was that simple, simple

On some puppy love
Like who gon' hang up first
'Cause now I'm so caught up on how it was
They way it used to be
When love was so easy
I wish it was that simple
I wish it was that simple, simple

Simple, simple
