Lyrics of 'Simple Things' by MKTO

Don't forget about the simple things
Before you started changin' everything
'Cause way before the reposts and the likes
It was the simple things that made you smile
So listen when I'm tellin' you
'Cause you ain't got nothin' to prove
So close your phone and open up your mind
'Cause it's the simple things that last a while

Used to get lost in each other's eyes
Now, I don't know how, but you losin' sight
Of all of the things that we could and might
And then maybe our love has been a lie
You on the phone, don't see the text
You were at home, don't got reception
You were the one, thought I could trust
And you don't pick up

Baby, you are, yeah, you are
Livin' life with your affliction
You got connections, but you are
Losin' your connection with me
Baby, you are, yeah, you are
Refreshing for another mention
Those aren't your friends, yeah
You forgot
You forgot about the simple things (don't forget)

I hardly recognize you anymore
They don't make Photoshoppin' for your soul
And you don't gotta hashtag all your girls
'Cause when you unplug you still all alone
The simplest thing that you can do
Is care about more than just you
So close your phone and open up your mind
'Cause it's the simplest thing that last a while

Yeah
Now when I look in your eyes
All I be seeing is money signs
You put a number to everything
Whatever happened to good times?
Traded real vibes for fake likes
We were day ones, now we cold nights
Always on your phone doin' too much, yeah
And you don't pick up

Baby, you are, yeah, you are
Livin' life with your affliction
You got connections, but you are
Losin' your connection with me
Baby, you are, yeah, you are
Refreshing for another mention
Those aren't your friends, yeah
You forgot
You forgot about the simple things

Don't forget about the simple things
Before you started changin' everything
Close your phone and open up your mind
'Cause it's the simple things that last a while

Baby, you are, yeah, you are
Livin' life with your affliction
You got connections, but you are
Losin' your connection with me
Baby, you are, yeah, you are
Refreshing for another mention
Those aren't your friends, yeah
You forgot
You forgot about the simple things

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
