Lyrics
Mess
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I open my mouth and words just come out
Stupid things said and done
But I am older now and I know better somehow
Than to chase away this love
And I don't care what they say to me anymore
I am thinking for myself
And I'll try a little harder
To keep my weary head above the ground
I'll try a little harder
To make you feel the way you should around me
And if you stay I won't
Mess it up this time
I know I can't stay the way I have changed
But it's easier say than done
And I am now, I just lost somehow
I won't let go off this love
And I don't care what they say to me anymore
I am thinking for myself
And I'll try a little harder
To keep my weary head above the ground
I'll try a little harder
To make you feel the way you should around me
And if you stay I won't
Mess it up this time
Time
Time
I won't mess it up
And I'll try a little harder
To keep my weary head above the ground
I'll try a little harder
To make you feel the way you should around me
Try a little harder
To keep my weary head above the ground
I'll try a little harder
To make you feel the way you should around me
And if you stay I won't
Mess it up this time
