Compliquée

Please let me chase my childhood dream
No, I don’t want to go into this grown-up world

Tell me why I’m so complicated
I know I have everything to be alright
Happiness is just within my reach
Held hostage by my past, I’m stuck on the details
Someone tell me why I feel so bad
I feel like I’ve lived too much, so weak against life
Always fighting, but against who?
I’m already so tired I can’t even find sleep
My innocence has set sail, why is nothing the same anymore?

Please let me chase my childhood dream
No, I don’t want to go into this grown-up world

I want someone who understands me
Someone who’s there every day
Pretending to kill the one who often has a heavy heart
I believed so much in soulmates
That I bit the bait
I may have lost my heart, but I haven’t lost my mind
Today my joy of living is all these people who believe in me, so I hold the smile and I fight because I have the strength
I know I’ll find peace in this life or the next
In the meantime, I want to search, sing these few notes

Please let me chase my childhood dream
No, I don’t want to go into this grown-up world

The more I move forward, the more complicated it gets
This grown-up life isn’t magical anymore
I want to find the innocence and naivety of the good old days
Too much hate, too much pain
Too many tears, too much drama
May God preserve me and protect me from the evil that surrounds me

Please let me chase my childhood dream
No, I don’t want to go into this grown-up world
