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 wish we could talk about it
Tell me how it went down
Keep it cool and understated
Guess that I don't know how
I can't seem to get around it
I can't find a way out
Play it back inside my brain
I know I shouldn't stay
But I still need you somehow
You left a mess in my head
And all that you said has kept me here hanging on
You left a mess in my head, and
I wish I could lie and say that I've been doing fine
I heard from your old friends
You've been out around town
Asking people how I've been
Did you want to hear I broke down
Now it feels strange even when we're in the same room
When I sing twenty something, I still think about you
I could walk away, but I don't rеally want to
I don't really want to
I still need you somehow
You left a mеss in my head
And all that you said has kept me here hanging on
You left a mess in my head, and
I wish I could lie and say that I've been doing fine
You left a mess in my head
And all that you said has kept me here hanging on
You left a mess in my head, and
I wish I could lie and say that I've been doing fine
You left a mess in my head
You left a mess in my head
