old songs - 'A Simple Fact'

Another old song of mine – ‘A Simple Fact’

(Verse)

This barrier around my heart, is there to keep pain out

instead, it’s kept it in

Loneliness has made it brittle, If you push enough it will give

If you can be bothered, If you think I’m worth the effort

(Chorus)

And I can see why you’d want to stay

and why you’d want to leave

I can see why you’d want to be with me

and why you’d rather not,

sometimes I feel the same

(Verse)

Too much youthful insolence, has made me difficult

set me apart, alone

Stubborn proud and arrogant I don’t need anyone

well, I am wrong

(Chorus)

 And at the risk of sounding Clichéd

I’ve always wanted you, I’ve just never said it

Cause I know I don’t deserve you

That you deserve more,

It’s a simple fact.
