Contradictions lyrics
by Natalie Imbruglia



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 truthThe 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?
