Benjamin Clementine
I Won’t Complain
[Verse 1]
It's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life
Traversed in tears from the heavens
My heart is a melodrama, a melodrama in fact
Set alight by echoes of pain 24/7, 24/7
[Bridge]
I dream, I smile
I walk, I cry
I dream, I smile
I walk, I cry
You might not say that it's a wonderful world
And it's a wonderful life
And it's a wonderful day
Just as yesterday
But I won't complain
No, I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They'll surely come back one more
So I won't complain, no no
[Verse 2]
My mind is a mirror
A reflection only known to me
And for those who hate me, the more you hate me, the more you help me
And those who love me, the more you love me, the more you hurt me
When I go to bed in the night, I see some children in the light
Fighting unknown shadows behind my mother's back
And although I don't understand my dreams I know somewhere
There's hope, there is hope, somewhere
There's hope
[Chorus]
I dream, I smile
I walk, I cry
I dream, I smile
I walk, I cry
You might not say that it's a wonderful world
And it's a wonderful life
And it's a wonderful day
Just as yesterday
But I won't complain
I won't complain, no no
Brr no, brr no, I won't complain , no I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They'll surely come back one more
So I won't, I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They'll surely come back one morn
So I won't, I won't complain
