about

Are you in a relationship in limbo? If your status says, “IT’S COMPLICATED”: are you just playing or are you seriously in love with someone—and the only that is stopping you both is the fear of being broken again?

IT’S COMPLICATED is a lyrically straightforward fusion R&B but a musically complicated piece on the conflicted feelings of people traumatized by past relationships. With music, lyrics, and musical arrangements by Njel de Mesa, this new radio single puts into view disparate feelings on whether to “get serious” or to “stay as friends”—to stay “single” or step up to “In a relationship” status. Featuring the internet-sensation and the second Filipino to win the World Championships of the Arts (WCOPA) Grand Prize (in Los Angeles, California), Aria Clemente; IT’S COMPLICATED is a part-acoustic, part-R&B, part-Jazz, part-hiphop with a dash of electro elements... signature elements that is truly NjeldeMesa by NjeldeMesa.

lyrics

Chorus
WHATEVER THIS IS
WHETHER TRUE LOVE
OR DESTINY
A FEELING OR FANTASY
WE BOTH RATHER
THAT WE JUST DON’T KNOW
‘COS WE’RE AFRAID
AFRAID OF BEIN’
BROKEN AGAIN
AFRAID OF LOSIN’
SOMEONE AGAIN
AFRAID OF LOOKIN’ BACK
SAYIN’,
“DAMN
WHY’D I DO THAT WITH YOU?
WE HAD A GOOD THING GOIN’ ON”
SO IT’S BETTER THIS WAY
IT’S COMPLICATED
IT’S BETTER THIS WAY
IT’S COMPLICATED
I GUESS IT’S BETTER THIS WAY
IT’S COMPLICATED

Rap
YEAH I CAN FEEL IN MY SOUL
WE WOULD HIT IT OFF
BUT THERE’S DOUBT IN MY MIND
WE SHOULD STEP IT UP
I WANNA BE WITH YOU
BUT WHAT IF YOU LEAVE ME TOO
‘COS YOU GIVE ME THIS FEELIN’
I’D BE WRITIN’ A NOVEL FOR YOU

YOU SAY
YOU GOTTA LEAVE SOME
FOR YOURSELF
BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT
IT DON’T PAIN YOU
TO BE AWAY
GIRL, YOU DON’T KNOW
(YOU DON’T KNOW THAT)
(YOU DON’T KNOW THAT)

HOW MUCH I
HOW MUCH I WANT YOU
(IT’S REALLY GETTIN’ HARDER
FOR ME TO RESIST YOU
BUT LEMME GUESS
YOU HAVE A FEELIN’
THAT I MISS YOU)

WE BOTH KNOW THIS FEELIN’
MIGHT COME AND GO
BUT COULD YOU BE THE ONE FOR ME
FOR REAL?
THAT WE DON’T KNOW
(THAT WE DON’T KNOW)
‘NOR SHOULD WE CARE
‘CAUSE I DON’T WANNA RISK
FEELIN’ WHAT I’M FEELIN’
AND I CAN KEEP ON SMILIN’
REMEMBRIN’

Chorus

YES AND I’M AFRAID
THAT THIS WILL BE
JUST ANOTHER ONE
JUST ANOTHER ONE
(AND I’M AFRAID I’D BE)
(SOMEDAY IMMA BE)
OH, JUST ANOTHER ONE
OOOH
(‘COS IF WE STOP
WE REMEMBER WITH A SMILE)
OOOH
(BUT IF WE GO
THEN I GUESS WE’LL NEVER KNOW)

I CAN’T BEAR THIS HEART
JUST GETTIN’ BROKEN AGAIN

Repeat Chorus
