It Doesn’t Get Better Than This Songtext
von John Eddie

Well don′t you ask me what's wrong
The story′s too long
You just wouldn't understand
Well from my childhood on
Everything's gone wrong
You just wouldn′t understand

I don′t blame nobody
I know they all love me
They love me just the way I am
I know they're all concerned
You′d think by now they would've learned
They just wouldn′t understand

You wouldn't understand
I′m a complicated individual

I wore my sister's clothes to David Bowie shows
You just wouldn't understand
I strangled my guitar
I was a spider from Mars
You just wouldn′t understand


After fifteen years I up and disappeared
Wasn′t covered by the family plan
They said "Let's talk about it son
You know we used to be young"
I said "You just wouldn′t understand"

You wouldn't understand
How it feels to feel invisible
You wouldn′t understand
I'm a complicated individual

I met my better half
We used to fuck and laugh
You just wouldn′t understand
She put me on the spot
She said "Let's tie the knot"
I just couldn't understand

I said "That knot′s a noose"
And so she cut me loose
Now she′s the better half of a better man
I guess I should've known I′d end up all alone
I just couldn't understand

You wouldn′t understand
I'm a complicated individual


You wouldn′t understand
How it feels to feel invisible
You wouldn't understand

I'm a complicated guy
You just wouldn′t understand

There′s a stranger beside me
She looks just like you
She mumbles good morning
I've got things to do
She stands in the mirror
She puts on your clothes
And just where she′s taking you
God only knows

She's right here
But we′re worlds apart
She's so near
Still we′re worlds apart
I hold on to what's gone
With all of my heart
She's right here
But we′re worlds apart

There′s a long distance call
From ten feet away
The talking is small
When there ain't much to say
Did she say she′s leaving
The connection ain't clear
And I′m missing someone
That's standing right here

She′s right here
But we're worlds apart
She's so near
But we′re worlds apart
I hold on to what′s gone
With all of my heart
She's right here
But we′re worlds apart

There's miles between us
In our little home
I′m living with someone
Who's living alone
We stare at the ceiling
While we lay in the dark
She buries old feelings
In the graves in her heart
She comes home to my bed
We don′t say a thing

There's sad songs in my head
I don't wanna sing
She′s lying right there
As I shut out the light
And I′m wondering just where
She is tonight

She's right here
But we′re worlds apart
She's so near
But we′re worlds apart
I hold on to what's gone
With all of my heart
She′s right here
But we're worlds apart
She's right here
But we′re worlds apart
