you made a mess of me

When the lights go down that's when you made it through

Faces deep in the crowd like there's only two

Even through it all I still woulda picked you

From 18' to 19' we took on the world, woulda ripped it pieces but instead it just turned

Round and round it goes, you dressed me for my funeral

Because every time I'd grow you'd cut me down

To my knees, you saw me as you pleased

But I'm not the one you're looking for

The white lie you cant ignore

You played on my patience

Never knew who you're calling

Said that I'm acting crazy

I imagined it all.

If you knew how it changed me

Would you say it's your fault

You know that

You made a mess of me

You made a mess of me

You carved your name into my skin

With a blunt knife

Drew a constellation to mark all the years

All the guilt and the shame need a tape for the tears

And sometimes I catch a glimpse of you

cross the faces of a crowded room

Like I'm stained with all the blood you drew

You're everything I knew

You played on my patience

Never knew who you're calling

Said that I'm acting crazy

I imagined it all.

If you knew how it changed me

Would you say it's your fault

You know that

You made a mess of me

You made a mess of me

You threw it away

Like it was a game

broke it like all of your promises

Throw dirt on my name

But I'll always know

You made a mess of me

5 years, you never wanted to change

I could count the scars from all the times that I stayed

I shoulda called and vented everything, as if my heart'd sink, you'd push me to the brink because

Every time I'd grow you'd cut me down

To my knees, you saw me as you pleased

But I'm not the one you're looking for

The white lie you can't ignore

You played on my patience

Never knew who you're calling

Said that I'm acting crazy

I imagined it all.

If you knew how it changed me

Would you say it's your fault

You know that

You made a mess of me

You made a mess of me

You threw it away

Like it was a game

broke it like all of your promises

Throw dirt on my name

But I'll always know

You made a mess of me
