It's A Complicated Answer

I don’t know and you don’t know
Where we’re gonna go
How we’re gonna get there and
How we’re gonna know

Passing through my mind
Were thoughts to stay forever
But I just don’t know how to be with
Rain and stormy weather

If the sky was always blue
If I knew you’d always be true
If you say you’d stay right by my side
It’s a complicated answer and
It goes out with the tide

I don’t know and you don’t know
Which way this road will turn but
There are lessons on the way for
You and I to learn

Like how can you be faithful with
Temptation in your way and
How can I believe you there are
Lies in everything you say

If when I looked up at you
In your eyes I always saw truth
Can you tell me we will never part
It’s a complicated answer cos
It’s not what’s in your heart

You don’t know and I don’t know
How to do the math
How to feel the joy in life and
How together we can laugh

It seems so long ago
We moved as one together
Dancing in each others arms
As soft as any leather

I wish that I could say to you
I still love the things that you do
I wish I could and this is so absurd
It’s a complicated answer cos
I don’t know how to say the words

You don’t know and I don’t know
How long this thing will last
If we give it all we’ve got it’s
Not already in the past

As you brush by my shoulder
I turn into the space
Where you were standing just before
Tears rolling down your face

I know you’ve been with him again and
I don’t want to play this game
I know he’s in your mind all of the time
It’s a complicated answer but
I know that you’re no longer mine
