​complex Lyrics by Katie Gregson-MacLeod

songs written for piano

2022

[Verse 1]
I'm twenty-one, the edge is razor thin
Between being numb and feeling everything
Good days only serve as relief again
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm watchin' as I waste away my days and then
It's a cross dissolve, it's a scene I've played before
And the leading role that I thought I'd hold
Doesn't listen to me anymore
[Chorus]
But I'm wearin' his boxers, I'm bein' a good wife
We won't be together, but maybe the next life
I need him like watеr, he lives on a landslide
I cry in his bathroom, hе turns off the big light
I'm bein' a cool girl, I'm keepin' it so tight
I carry him home while my friends have a good night
I need him like water, he thinks that I'm alright
I'm not feelin' human, I think he's a good guy
[Post-Chorus]
But it's complex, it's a complex
[Verse 2]
Triangular, I can see them now
Three points at which I let myself down
I was just a girl, what's the excuse now?
Too regular, this pattern
I've been takin' shelter in reachin' new highs
When I was nineteen, I wanted to die
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I just wanna kill you, but I don't want to paint you the victim
And I talk a good game, I'd die for just the promise you'd listen
[Chorus]
But I'm wearin' his boxers, I'm bein' a good wife
We won't be together, but maybe the next life
I need him like water, he lives on a landslide
I cry in his bathroom, he turns off the big light
I'm bein' a cool girl, I'm keepin' it so tight
I carry him home while my friends have a good night
I need him like water, he thinks that I'm alright
I'm not feelin' human, I think he's a good guy
[Post-Chorus]
But it's complex, it's a complex
It's a complex, I'm a complex
