complex (demo) Songtext
von Katie Gregson-MacLeod

I′m 21
The edge is razor-thin
Between being numb
And feeling everything
Good days only serve as relief again

Now I'm watching 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

But I'm wearing his boxers
I′m being 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 being the cool girl
I'm keeping 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 feeling human
I think he's a good guy

But it′s complex
It′s a complex

It's a complex
I′m a complex

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 taking shelter in
Reaching new highs
When I was 19
I wanted to die

Now I just want to 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


But I'm wearing his boxers
I′m being 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 being the cool girl
I′m keeping 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 feeling human
I think he's a good guy

But it′s complex
It's a complex

It's a complex
I′m a complex
