Complicated

complicated.
she says the future is overrated.
on the very first morning we woke up,
she tells me 'no getting your hopes up'
she's so hard and she's so tough
she's so cold to the touch but
underneath the ice
i see fire.

it wasn't a dream
i heard when you said it.
i wasn't asleep
i heard when you said it.

she don't do crowded.
says her life used to be sweet
but she soured it.
she tells me there's no secret door,
no secret smile
no secret passageway but
but i found it.
when i need more she gives me less
she's so hard to impress but
underneath the ice
i see fire

it wasn't a dream
i heard when you said it.
i wasn't asleep
i heard when you said it.
and i will leave it alone -
i know you'll deny it.
i'm keeping my feet on the ground
but inside
i'm flying.

some songs are dreams
some songs are plans
some songs are lies you never knew you meant.
some come in third and are never heard
some change the world
and some just pay the rent.
no way to say
no telling what this song is meant to be
but i want you to know
need you to know
your secret's safe with me.

complicated.
she's complicated.
