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 make me come unglued
It's such a contradiction, do I lie or tell the truth
Is it fact or fiction 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 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

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
