Katie Gregson Macleod's 'Complex' full lyrics:

I’m wearing his boxers / I’m being a good wife

We won’t be together / But maybe the next life

I need him like water / He lives on a landslide

I cry in his bathroom / He turns off the big light

I'm being a cool girl / I'm keeping it so tight

I carry him home / While my friends have a good night

I need him like water / He thinks that I’m alright

I’m not feeling human / I think he’s a good guy

But it's complex / It's a complex

It's a complex / I'm a complex
