Complicated - Boole

Did you know I think of you?

And times we had, I know they’re through

These years that have passed erased my face

I drank to hide my fears

Never made intentions clear

Did you think that you would be replaced?

I thought of you in those times

You the girl I’d want for life

Now the time for that has passed away

Looking back across those years

I wonder if it’d help to hear

I was going to marry you someday

How could I say I needed you

When I didn’t even know what you wanted from me?

How could I tell you what it meant

When I didn’t even know if you’d ever loved me?

This resonance we shared

Is long gone, and have you cared?

I guess our chance was lost to fate

If you knew it, if you could

Feel it slip as things then stood

Did you feel you’d been betrayed?

I wasn’t much of a man then

Didn’t know what I’d never mend

I assumed we’d only stray

At times you’d look at me

I’d hope I’d still see

Something making me feel less ashamed

How could I say I needed you

When I didn’t even know what you wanted from me?

How could I tell you what it meant

When I didn’t even know if you’d ever loved me?

Now you know I’d think of you

But now, I seldom do

Those thoughts got in the way

I regret these words I had

Obsession has nothing to add

I will not be living out clichés

I think of you less each time

When the past still comes to mind

Does it seem just all a waste?

My answer’s very clear

You weren’t too concerned then, dear

I was a fool to give chase

How could I say I needed you

When I didn’t even know what you wanted from me?

How could I tell you what it meant

When I didn’t even know if you’d ever loved me?

Why are you still in my thoughts?

Complicated, cold, and lovely

Can I get beyond regret?

You’re no longer thinking of me
