Complicated
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I tried
Tried so hard to make you stray
And I just don't know how we got along
Next time that you say that you want me
Well just remember how I don't belong
Not what I meant to say but you know I feel that way
And you know that that's a fact
You won't admit you're wrong and I've waited so long
For you to cut the act
I know I tend to lie but I really mean this time
When I say I don't want you back
The only reason that I stay is me
And I tried
Tried so hard to make you stray
And I just don't know how we got along
Next time that you say that you want me
Well just remember how I don't belong
Choose to believe in me
But you'll never see
What they do to me
Mistakes, bitten by the snakes
My biggest disgrace
Feeling out of place
Next time, but there's no next time
I can't take the lies
This is my goodbye
I'm saying goodbye!
I really hate to say but you know I feel that way
And you know that that's a fact
I know I tend to lie
But this time it's the truth
And I tried
Tried so hard to make you stray
And I just don't know how we got along




Next time that you say that you want me
Well just remember how I don't belong

Lyrics:

Chill out, what you yelling for
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be, you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're driving in your car
And you're talking to me one on one but you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
And promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're something else
Where you are ain't where it's at you see
You're making me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know you're not fooling anyone
When you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
And promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
Chill out, what you yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
And promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no
Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
And promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
