The cat's on the carpet
The phone doesn't work
I hate when it's quiet
It means that you're hurt

It gets so complicated
'til I can't pretend
I thought I could do something good
but I'll never do that again
I thought I could do something good
but I'll never do that again

And you put your book down
and stare into space
You turn all the lights down
so I won't see your face

It gets so complicated
'til I can't pretend
I thought I could do something good
but I'll never do that again
I thought I could do something good
but I'll never do that again
