Long and Complicated Lyrics
She might break with just a touch
Burst into tears over nothing much
A delicate girl, an unusual case
A delicate girl with a china face
All through the evening
I tried to find the words to say goodbye
Conflicting feelings tangling up my mind
Her sad dark eyes looked into mine
Her sad dark eyes looked deep into mine
And there she sat in her perfect hat
She had a way of dressing up like that
A buttoned-down blouse with a trim of lace
The delicate girl with the china face
Come the next morning I tried yet again to say goodbye
Through the days of April
On into May and June and then July
The time slipped by
Through May and June and then July
(Chorus 1)
Well, it's Long and Complicated
So Long and Complicated
I'm trying to know where the story's gonna go
But it's just not clear to see
When she smiles, my resolve is long gone
When I tried to tell her So Long
I had no words to say
Couldn't walk away
My heart got the best of me
Things I say take me by surprise
I can't stand to see tears in her eyes
She's buzzing around fixing up the place
The delicate girl with the china face
It seem I can hardly keep my eyes away when she's around
But with her emotions always on her sleeve
What kind of trouble have I found?
What kinds of trouble have I found?
(Chorus 2)

Well it's Long and Complicated
So Long and Complicated
It could take many years drying all those tears
Is that where I want to be?
Sometimes I want to be her protector
Then the next day I want to reject her
She's alluring and fine
She said she was mine
My heart got the best of me
Standing at the altar
Watching the scene unfold before me now
Conflicting feelings tangling up my mind
Her sad dark eyes look into mine
Her sad dark eyes look deep into mine
