Please Don't Complicate Things

Girl with one shoe on

running from the other one

a heel bruise blackening her face

He tells her she just fell

But she knows all too well

he's hiding in the privacy of fake

and she says:

Please don't complicate things

more than they already are.

Can't see the future, but see far enough to know:

Things are gonna get hard before they change

But this life's not gonna stay the same.

Boy working hard for cash

Three jobs and a college debt

Life ain't turning out how he had dreamed

Some say he should just give up

Live out of his pick-up truck

But he says things are better than they seems

and he says:

Please don't complicate things

more than they already are.

Can't see the future, but see far enough to know:

Things are gonna get hard before they change

But this life's not gonna stay the same.

Four eyes crying alone

Two away and the others home

recovering from a lover's feud.

Friends say they should just move on

Bury all of those sad songs

Life won't be so hard if they do.

But they say:

Please don't complicate things

more than they already are.

Can't see the future, but see far enough to know:

Things are gonna get hard before they change

But this life's not gonna stay the same.
