Contradictions Lyrics - 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 have 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 your mission 

Somebody tell me 

It doesn't make no sense at all 

Somebody tell me 

Why we're living in a world of contradiction 

Somebody tell me 

It doesn't make no sense at all 

Somebody tell me 

Why we're living in a world of contradiction 

Why is it 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 it all worked out 

Where's that leave me now? 

We lost communication 

Too many expectations 

Somebody tell me 

It doesn't make no sense at all 

Somebody tell me 

Why we're living in a world of contradiction 

Somebody tell me 

It doesn't make no 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 no 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?
