Complicated Lyrics

So reach for the stars

You've had your part

And you played it well

So captivate and behold

A story already told

But the meaning's not old

There's pages wrapped up in gold

Am I asking too much

Am I worth every fuck

Will you pick me apart

And show me what's inside

Those dreams that I'd like to hide

I'm so abased yet brazen when I'm with you

So why is my love so complicated

Is it gonna be enough to handle you

My heart it's been trampled It's been played with

Can you shoot down my fears I don't wanna be used

There's penance I require

Held in contempt by the choir

Just like the hymn that I wrote

Where heaven's covered in smoke

It's the only passage I know

I'm so abased yet brazen when I'm with you

I've reckoned with all the tempted angels

From the caverns of old and lovers too

Let shivering men wear blanket stanzas

For fear of the cold and the heart to lose

So why is my love so complicated

Is it gonna be enough to handle you

My heart it's been trampled It's been played with

Can you shoot down my fears I don't wanna be used

Gather all you've heard

Leather handed born

If you don't ever let up

Then our heaven's on the run

In the setting sun

With a severed lung

I've reckoned with all the tempted angels

From the caverns of old and lovers too

Let shivering men wear blanket stanzas

For fear of the cold and the heart to lose

So why is my love so complicated

Is it gonna be enough to handle you

My heart it's been trampled It's been played with

Can you shoot down my fears I don't wanna be used
