There was a time
Everything was easy
Everything was simple
The rules were all laid out
You wanted something I couldn't give
But things were easy
Things were simple
And we carried on
Years went by
Your feelings never changed
Neither did mine
You stood by & watched
As I fell for others
Things were easy
Things were simple
We carried on
It's just what we did
It worked for us
Then my feelings changed
But so did yours
And yet they stayed the same
I want something you can't give
But is it can't or won't
The rules aren't laid out anymore
We don't know what to do
Have your feelings really changed
You say they haven't
Yet you hide it so well
You can't give me something
That you wanted to give before
I didn't know you were allowed
To take it back
Now things aren't easy
Things aren't simple
The rules are broken
