Analysis of Complexity
I'm in love with you
You're in love with her
You never notice
She's not really sure
A love so uncertain
A love so unfair
Ignored by those you want
Ignoring those who care
Asking ourselves,
Is it fate or is it will?
Do we move on?
Do we stand still?
Do they feel it
But just don't say?
Is it a game
We shouldn't play?
In a tailspin,
Where will we land?
Never together
Or hand in hand?
