Pretty Big Mess

So you got my email today

And now you’re wondering what to say

Well, I can think of a few things you could say to me

I’ll write them down now for you, clearly

Well you could say: Baby, I love you and we’re gonna be ok

Or you could try: I’m coming home, and I’ve changed

You could say: I’m sorry for all the things I did

I’m sorry that I left you, I was just crazy and stupid

You could say you miss me and you want me back

And you can apologize for breakin’ my heart like that

Oh but it was just a pretty hologram to play in

A pretty girl for you to muck around with

A pretty lie I fell into

A pretty big mess when it all boils down

When am I gonna find a man who’s not addicted?

When am I gonna find a way to kick this?

When am I gonna get myself a good time?

When am I gonna find Mr Right?

Oh cause it was just a pretty hologram to play in

You were a pretty boy to pretend with

It was a pretty lie I fell into

A pretty big mess when it all boils down to it

When it all boils down

You can say you love me in any language that you like

But it doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t make it real in real life

So I’m done with your semantics in place of Real Love

I’m gonna fly away now. One Owl. One Dove

You built me a pretty hologram and I jumped in

You were a pretty boy to pretend with

It was a pretty lie I fell into

A pretty big mess when it all boils down to it

A pretty big mess

A great shame

A pretty big mess

And just another one of your stupid games
