[Verse 1]
Why don't we talk, yeah, when we should talk?
And listen when we should listen?
Why don't we take the blame when it's our fault?
But we're always so quick to give it

[Pre-Chorus]
All these fights, all these sides
All this eye for an eye, yeah, we're all going blind
Don't know why people try to make it something that it ain't
If we know that it's better to love than hate

[Chorus]
It shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated
Couldn't we, couldn't we, couldn't we be the ones to change it?
And maybe it ain't gotta be as hard as we make this
If we're wanting the same thing at the end of the day it
Shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated

[Verse 2]
Did we learn it and we just forgot
Or maybe it's how we were raised?
I know that we've been through a lot
But it don't gotta stay this way (Stay this way)

[Pre-Chorus]
All these fights (All these fights)
All these sides (All these sides)
All this eye for an eye, yeah, we're all going blind
Don't know why people try to make it something that it ain't
If we know that it's better to love than hate
[Chorus]
It shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated
Couldn't we, couldn't we, couldn't we be the ones to change it?
And maybe it ain't gotta be as hard as we make this
If we're wanting the same thing at the end of the day it
Shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
It shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated
It shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated, no
Shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Couldn't we, couldn't we, couldn't we be the ones to change it? (The ones to change it)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
And maybe it ain't gotta be as hard as we make this (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
If we're wanting the same thing at the end of the day it (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated (Complicated)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
It shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
It shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be this complicated
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
