Complicated

Remember how it started well

With flowers, cake and chiming bells

It felt just like a fairy tale

As we said forever

 

And as we left the hall that night

The moon and the stars were our delight

But even the heavens’ hallowed light

Won’t last forever

 

Love, it’s complicated

Love, once the daylight’s faded

Shadows climb our walls and make it

Complicated

 

Love, you were a trusted friend

Don’t leave me here to begin again

It’s just this little mess I’m in

And it’s complicated

 

Heroes, artists, me and you

Ready to build our something new

Thought the pretty pictures that we drew

Would last forever

 

But questions were your favorite art

And the scaffolding soon fell apart

Can heroes finish what they start

If it takes forever

 

Love, it’s complicated

Love, once the daylight’s faded

Shadows climb our walls and make it

Complicated

 

Love, you were a trusted friend

Don’t leave me here to begin again

It’s just this little mess I’m in

And it’s complicated

 

Now I don’t believe in fairy tales

Cause flowers die and heroes fail

I see it babe around me all the time

 

We went wandering from our neighborhood

Through a dark and foggy wood

Tell me what’d we ever hope to find

Is it a choice

That’s yours and mine

 

So here we are just like the start

The two of us and our work of art

Just another mystery of the heart

That goes on forever

 

But no one knows me like you do

And girl you know it’s the same for you

So be with me and I’ll be with you

Now and forever

 

Love, it’s complicated

Love, once the daylight’s faded

Shadows climb our walls and make it

Complicated

 

Love, you were a trusted friend

Don’t leave me here to begin again

It’s just this little mess I’m in

And it’s complicated

 

I don’t believe in fairy tales

Cause flowers die and heroes fail

And love it ain’t no fairy tale

It’s complicated

 

I don’t believe in fairy tales

Cause flowers die and heroes fail

And love it ain’t no fairy tale

It’s complicated
