Why, do you always do this to me?
Why, couldn't you just see through me?
How come, you act like this
Like you just don't care at all

Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

Hey, listen to what we're not saying
Let's play, a different game than what we're playing
Try, to look at me and really see my heart

Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even when you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

So go and think about whatever you need to think about
Go ahead and dream about whatever you need to dream about
And come back to me when you know just how you feel, you feel
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me

It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

    My Opinion:When I hear the song I feel like it's a guy who hurts the girl over and over again. She still love him, even though she truly knows it's wrong and she deserves better. But she cannot move on and it kills her when she feels like she needs him more and more each day, but if she really needs him is it supposed to hurt that way then?

    General Comment:To get this song: Either buy her Complicated Single CD off Amazon. A used copy the new one is over fifty dollars for three songs. (It's what I did to get I Don't Give)
    Or go check out the My World DVD from your library. It has a cd.
    <3 this song so much.

    General Comment:this song is about how a guy breaks a girls heart..and he does it over and over again, but cant see it.
    he acts like he didnt do anything bad to her...
    "i can feel, i can feel you near me even though youre far away"
    shows how emotionally attached the girl is to the guy,even if hes not near her,she still feels him
    she loves him so much.

    "tell me
    are you and me still together?
    tell me
    think we can last forever
    tell me
    why"

    shes still hoping for him..but shes not quite sure what to do..
    guys like leaving girls hanging and guessing....

    why oh why?!

    General Comment:i can relate to this song sooo much right now and im sure that many other girls can too. in my opinion, its about a girl whose really in love with her boyfriend but all of a sudden, it seems as if he doesnt care about their relationship as much as he used to and hes not talking to her as much anymore (hey listen to what we're not saying) and things just dont feel the same anymore. and this leaves her absolutely heartbroken, so shes deperately trying to figure out whats wrong and why this is happening and all she wants at the moment is for things to go back to normal and things to be the way they used to (do you expect me to believe im gonna let us fall apart).

    ive been listening to this song non-stop now, i love it.
