Simple Together

Alanis Morissette · The Collection [2005]

You've been my golden best friend

And now with post-demise at hand

I can't go to you for consolation

'Cause we're off limits during this transition



This grief overwhelms me

It burns in my stomach

And I can't stop bumping into things



I thought we'd be simple together

I thought we'd be happy together

Thought we'd be limitless together

I thought we'd be precious together

But I was sadly mistaken



You've been my soulmate and then some

I remembered you the moment I met you

With you I knew God's face was handsome

With you I saw fun and expansion



This loss is numbing me

It pierces my chest

And I can't stop dropping everything



I thought we'd be sexy together

Thought we'd be evolving together

I thought we'd have children together

I thought we'd be family together

But I was sadly mistaken



If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared

If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented

If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air

My wealth would render this no less severe



I thought we'd be genius together

I thought we'd be healing together

I thought we'd be growing together

Thought we'd be adventurous together

But I was sadly mistaken



Thought we'd be exploring together

Thought we'd be inspired together

I thought we'd be flying together

Thought we'd be on fire together

But I was sadly mistaken
