The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was only looking for a shortcut home

But it's complicated

So complicated

Somewhere in this city is a road I know

Where we could make it

But maybe there's no making it now

Too long we've been denying

Now we're both tired of trying

We hit a wall and we can't get over it

Nothing to relieve

It's water under the bridge

You said it, I get it

I guess it is what it is

I was only trying to bury the pain

But I made you cry and I can't stop the crying

Was only trying to save me

But I lost you again

Now there's only lying

Wish I could say it's only me

Too long we've been denying

Now we're both tired of trying

We hit a wall and we can't get over it

Nothing to relieve

It's water under the bridge

You said it, I get it

I guess it is what it is

Here it comes ready or not

We both found out it's not how we thought

That it would be, how it would be

If the time could turn us around

What once was lost may be found

For you and me, for you and me

Too long we've been denying

Now we're both tired of trying

We hit a wall and we can't get over it

Nothing to relieve

It's water under the bridge

You said it, I get it

I guess it is what it is

I was only looking for a shortcut home

But it's complicated

So complicated
