I feel so hopeless
It goes in and out your ears
Through one, out the other
And you never hear
It goes away so fast
The pain, the joy it doesn't last
If it did, you wouldn't ask
In the world of silent films I know you'd say my name
On the screen the film could burn but you'd never fade away
I hate to be so complicated
If you were me then you would hate it
It goes away so fast
The pain the joy, it doesn't last
I hate to be so complicated
If you were me then you would hate it
It goes away so fast
The pain the joy, it doesn't last
And I remember walking in the park with you
In Dublin on a Sunday, holding hands beneath the gloom
The plaque said we were at the spot
Between where both the guns went off
You said the rain won't stop
Angels crying from above
In the world of silent films I know you'd say my name
On the screen the film could burn but you'd never fade away
I hate to be so complicated
If you were me then you would hate it
It goes away so fast
The pain the joy, it doesn't last
I hate to be so complicated
If you were me then you would hate it
It goes away so fast
The pain the joy, it doesn't last
On the flight I asked if you felt fine
You said everything with you feels right
But now I feel like I lost my mind
Cause I'm lonely like the moon sometimes
Slowly spinning through the night
In my mind
I hate to be so complicated (All the time)
I hate to be so complicated (All the time)
I hate to be so complicated, and jaded, and faded
I hate it in my dreams
Cause it's as lonely as it seems
