I Won’t Complain Lyrics
[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
[Pre-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
[Chorus]
But I won't complain
No, I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They'll surely come back one morn
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
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
[Pre-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
[Chorus]
But I won't complain
No, I won't complain
Though my good days are far gone
They'll surely come back one morn
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
[Pre-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
[Chorus]
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 morn
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
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
[Chorus]
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 morn
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

Genius Annotation
Written and composed by the English singer, songwriter and poet Benjamin Clementine, “I won’t Complain” is a poignant look at life from the writer’s perspective, he muses on how life might not be perfect and it might not be a “wonderful world” or a “wonderful life” but he still finds a sense of rhythm in the ups and downs of life. He takes life as it is, filled with all he can see, his experiences and he won’t complain.
