COMPLEX BLUE -愛だけ哀しすぎて-
THE ALFEE Lyrics

The Alfee's song COMPLEX BLUE -愛だけ哀しすぎて- is a sorrowful ballad that expresses the complexities of a love that has become sad over time. The lyrics describe the emotions of a woman who is deeply in love with someone, but that love is more painful than joyful. She reminisces on the early days of their relationship when they would exchange gentle kisses before saying goodbye. However, now when it is time to part ways, all that remains is a sigh that he pretends not to hear. The woman confesses that the love they shared was not the kind that could be forgiven with just a simple embrace, but instead it was driven by a fake smile that she was unable to resist. Nonetheless, she pleads with him to stay as she continues to wait for him, even as the pain of unrequited love continues to consume her.

The woman continues to ache for the man that she loves and feels jealous of the thought of someone else being with him. She recognizes that their love was too demanding and was filled with promises that could not be kept. She tries to let go of her attachment to him, but the warmth and comfort that she receives from him is something that she is unable to find elsewhere. Even though she realizes that her grip on him is unhealthy, she finds it difficult to let him go. She wishes to go back to the night that they first met, to erase all the memories and separate the threads that have become tangled. Nonetheless, she continues to love him intensely and cannot resist him. Thus, the song ends with the woman declaring her love for the man, unable to give up on the complex and painful love that she feels for him.
