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
