lyrics

It’s simple
That you’re complicated,
And it’s fine
That you have your own mind.
For something so easy to say,
I wish it was easy that way
To believe the words tumbling, stumbling from my mouth.

It’s shameful.
My attempt to tie you down
Like some exotic creature
I don’t get used to seeing you around.
Hypnotic words you say,
They do all they can to steal my heart away
Without a warning, it’s still beating as you’re leaving, tucked tightly in your hands.

Because I’ve tried, and tried,
So many times
Even from the start
To convince my heart
It doesn’t love you;
But my heart is a stubborn one.
It runs miles and miles,
Through mountains and streams.
It does what it wants
It lives in its dreams
That someday you’ll love me.
But my heart is a stupid one,
Yes, my heart is a stupid one.
And it’s torturing me.

These people-
They’re not complicated-
They’re fine.
There’s nothing that they mind.
They’ve never had a struggle to see,
They know not of what you burden on me
And I wouldn’t wish it or curse it, not the worst of it
Though I feel so alone.

Because I’ve tried, and tried,
So many times.
Even from the start,
To convince my heart
It doesn’t love you.
But my heart is a stubborn one.
It runs miles and miles,
Through mountains and streams.
It does what it wants
It lives in its dreams
That someday you’ll love me.
But my heart is a stupid one,
Yes, my heart is a stupid one.
And it’s torturing me.

This can’t be good for me,
It just can’t be good for me.
My belly is hungry;
I’m starving for more.
This can’t be good for me;
It doesn’t feel good to me.
But I guess I’ll always get what I settle for…

Because I’ve tried, and tried,
So many times
Even from the start
To convince my heart
It doesn’t love you.
But my heart is a stubborn one.
It runs miles and miles
Through mountains and streams.
It does what it wants
It lives in its dreams
That someday you’ll love me.
But my heart is a stupid one,
Yes, my heart is a stupid one.
And it’s torturing me.
