Lyrics
[verse]
Take me back to the beginning of it all
Before the silence, before the wall
I had questions but I never learned to ask
Now I'm searching for a way to fix the past
[chorus]
Tell me why the simple things get hard
Tell me why we drift and lose the yard
I'm no genius, I don't have the key
Just a heart that's trying to find its way back to thee
[verse]
Running backward through the pages of goodbye
Wishing I could give the truth another try
Every equation that I write still comes up wrong
Love was never something I could solve with a song
[chorus]
Tell me why the simple things get hard
Tell me why we drift and lose the yard
I'm no genius, I don't have the key
Just a heart that's trying to find its way back to thee
[bridge]
Piano keys are falling slow like tears upon the floor
Wishing I could rearrange what happened before
Nobody said that love would be an easy sum
But I would trade all my answers just to have you come
[chorus]
Tell me why the simple things get hard
Tell me why we drift and lose the yard
I'm no genius, I don't have the key
Just a heart that's trying to find its way back to thee
