AVRIL LAVIGNE LYRICS

"Complicated"

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become

Refrain :

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're somethin' else
where you are and where it's at you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become
(back to Refrain)

This song tells about a couple that in the past they used to get along well with each other. They used to have a close relationship. But after some times one of them felt bored or something. Other thing that made the woman felt frustrated is that one of them was a liar every time he talked. It seemed that the man had someone else as his lover. He wanted to break the relationship with the woman. After quarrel, he acted as if they didn't know each other. They could talk about something in his car, but one of them seemed pretend to be relax, but he was uncomfortable. 

One of them acted as if he was somebody else and it made her feel frustrated and disappointed.  Moreover, he was telling lie to her. He promised to be honest, but he didn't. At last, one of them left her and got another.

From the song above, what do you think about the situation? Why did the man leave the woman? Isn't the woman attractive now? Who made the big mistakes the woman or the man?
