Complicated Lyrics by Isabel van Gelder

Hear you come in at night and lay your body next to me
Softly call my name while I act like I’m asleep
Still living here in the same bed, laying under separate sheets
And I keep on pretending I don’t know what it means

I’ve made up a thousand reasons
Trying to change my own mind
The more that I hide away
The more of what we had will slowly die
Friends, they all ask about it
It makes me choke up every time
I’ll say it’s complicated
It’s pretty complicated

Oh, oh, oh

Now I’ve been walking in circles, staring blankly at the wall
Counting down the minutes before I head back home
And find you waiting for me like you always seem to do
Like we still got something, something left to lose

I look for a thousand reasons
That all should make me wanna stay
The more that I seem to find
The more it makes me wanna run away
And though I’d never admit it
I think I know how this will end
I’ll call it complicated
It’s pretty complicated

Oh (Oh), oh (Oh)

I know sometimes a good thing breaks
And maybe there’s no one to blame
You’ll be in my heart always
And there’s a part of me you’ll take
I’ve held you close and watched you cry
I’ve heard you sing and heard you lie
And when it’s time for me to leave
They’re the secrets that I’ll keep
You showed me what it means to love
To truly feel like I’m enough
I hope that in another life
I’ll find you back, I’ll make it right
You have been my everything
And I hope you’ll have everything
Thank you for the love you gave
I will never be the same
