Verse 1] I don’t do a costume I don’t wear a crowd I like my name plain I say it out loud I keep my own pace Small steps, clean lines If you look too hard You’ll miss the shine [Pre-Chorus] I’m not hard to read I’m what you see No extra smoke Just simply me [Chorus] Simply me, simply me Take me as I am Simply me, simply me I don’t need a plan Simply me, simply me Plain as my own name Say it once, say it twice I stay the same [Verse 2] I’ve got worn-in shoes And a laugh that stays A pocket full of truths For the rainy days I won’t bend myself Just to fit your frame I’m a whole wide world In a common name [Pre-Chorus] I’m not hard to read I’m what you see No extra smoke Just simply me [Chorus] Simply me, simply me Take me as I am Simply me, simply me I don’t need a plan Simply me, simply me Plain as my own name Say it once, say it twice I stay the same [Bridge] If the room goes cold I still come through No borrowed soul No polished truth I fall, I rise I bruise, I breathe And that’s the whole thing That’s simply me [Final Chorus] Simply me, simply me Take me as I am Simply me, simply me I don’t need a plan Simply me, simply me Plain as my own name Say it once, say it twice I stay the same
