Complicated
Neverkept Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I've been waiting for years
And my mind races miles
Yet my body lays near my flaws
Have shoveled dirt on what we grew
And I can't keep you from digging up our roots
I promise one day we'll bloom
I never wanted to be
Just a game that you lose
Nothing is shatterproof
So take your time on me
I never wanted to be
Just another crack in your hourglass
The time walks right by as
The earth stands frozen still
Right through all the changes
Of our broken will
I saw the past reveal itself
Our future we forgot about
You threw me to the wolves and then
I crawled back again
Even if it was complicated
So take your time on me
I never wanted to be
Just a game that you lose
Nothing is shatterproof
So take your time on me
I never wanted to be
Just another another crack in your hourglass
Another crack in your hourglass
I'm still waiting
I'm just operating
I know everything is
Complicated
So take your time on me
I never wanted to be
Just a game that you lose
Nothing is shatterproof
So take your time on me
I never wanted to be
Just another crack in your hourglass
I'm still waiting
I'm just operating
I know everything is
