Lyrics: Carolyn Dawn Johnson. Complicated.

I'm so scared that the way that I feel
Is written all over my face
When you walk into the room
I wanna find a hiding place

We used to laugh, we used to hug
The way that old friends do
But now a smile and a touch of your hand
Just makes me come unglued

It's such a contradiction
Do I lie or tell the truth?
Is it fact or fiction
Oh, the way I feel for you?

It's so complicated
I'm so frustrated
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay

Should I say it
Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh, I want you to know but then again I don't
It's so complicated

Just when I think I'm under control
I think I finally got a grip
Another friend tells me that
My name is always on your lips

They say I'm more than just a friend
They say I must be blind
Well, I admit that I've seen you watch me
From the corner of your eye

Oh, it's so confusing
Yeah, I wish you'd just confess
But think of what I'd be losing
If your answer wasn't yes

It's so complicated
I'm so frustrated
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay

Should I say it
Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh, I want you to know but then again I don't
It's so complicated

I hate it 'cause I've waited
So long for someone like you

Oh, should I say it
Should I tell you how I feel?
Oh, I want you to know but then again I don't
It's so complicated, so complicated
It's so complicated
