Imbruglia Natalie Contradictions Lyrics

Contradictions Lyrics

Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf-eared
god.
Hanging on tight by a single thread,
Praying for a
change.
Everything you could've sacrificed,
Your flesh and blood had it's
own sweet price.
Baby's all grown up and moved away,
Where's that leave
you now?
It was your own decision,
You made my life a
mission.
Somebody tell me,
(It doesn't make any sense at all)
Somebody
tell me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction.
Somebody tell
me,
(It doesn't make any sense at all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're
living in a world of contradiction.
Working so hard to be
understood,
Doing so much for the common good.
Sorry if I didn't see the
truth
The sadness in your eyes.
I wanted to stand on my own two
feet,
Looking at life as a one-way street.
Thinking that I had all worked
out,
Where's that leave me now?
We lost communication,
Too many
expectations.
Somebody tell me,
(It doesn't make any sense at
all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of
contradiction.
Somebody tell me,
(It doesn't make any sense at
all)
Somebody tell me,
Why we're living in a world of
contradiction.
Everything I have inside,
I kept it wrapped up
tight.
All I know is,
All I want to know is,
Somebody tell
me.
Somebody tell me,
(It doesn't make any sense at all)
Somebody tell
me,
Why we're living in a world of contradiction.
In a world of
contradiction.
Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a
deaf-eared god.
Hanging on tight by a single thread,
Where's that leave
you now?
