I've been fighting with myself but I'm losing lately
And you know that I put my back against the door
Shut you out, don't wanna say the wrong things
I don't speak what's on my mind that much, I know you hate that
And when you try to pull the words from my mouth

You know I hate those days when I wake and I mess
Up my make-up 'cause I'm mad at things for no reason
Twist all your words, make you seem like the worst for the hell of it

I'm sorry, but all I can say is I'm complicated
And you get what I'm like 'cause you're staying
Even though I don't know why I say it
Want you to leave, but don't go
Want you to leave, but don't go, no, no
Want you to leave, but don't go

It can go a couple weeks from the day I say I need space
And you know that we don't talk but you wait
'Cause you know that we gonna be okay (ooh)
And all I want is to be on my own, I know you're out there
On the flip side of my bedroom door

You know I hate those days when I wake and I mess
Up my make-up 'cause I'm mad at things for no reason
Twist all your words, make you seem like the worst for the hell of it

I'm sorry, but all I can say is I'm complicated
And you get what I'm like 'cause you're staying
Even though I don't know why I say it
Want you to leave, but don't go
Want you to leave, but don't go, mm
Want you to leave, but don't go

I hate those days when something's off with me
Don't know what's up with me
All I can't say, but you guess and
You know I'm better than the days when I wake and I mess
Up my make-up 'cause I'm mad at things for no reason
Twist all your words, make you seem like the worst for the hell of it

I'm sorry, but all I can say is I'm complicated
And you get what I'm like 'cause you're staying
Even though I don't know why I say it
Want you to leave, but don't go
(I hate those days when something's off with me)
(Don't know what's up with me, all I can't stay)
Want you to leave, but don't go, no, no
Want you to leave, but don't go
