Contradictions — текст песни (imbruglia natalie)

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?
