"Messed Up" lyrics

When you wake in the dark, see the mist on the light
And you're feeling confused, gotta figure it out
And it took you a while 'cause you tried to forget
Didn't want to admit but I liked what you said
You were holding something strong over me
I was powerless in your company
I don't wanna feel this way
But I'm under a spell that's hard to break
And your touch is like electricity
When I'm far away it's so hard
I can't be held like this again
I won't pretend like this wasn't
Messed up from the start

Knew I was in over my head, I couldn't stop
I couldn't help myself
I didn't want to 'cause I knew that it was
Messed up from the start

When I asked you again and you told me a lie
You were sorting it out but you knew at the time
And it wouldn't have changed anything anyway
Couldn't ask you to leave, didn't want you to stay
You were holding back, saying it's impossible
Want it bad, I know that it's impossible

Knew I was in over my head, I couldn't stop
I couldn't help myself
I didn't want to 'cause I knew that it was
Messed up from the start

Knew I was in over my head, I couldn't stop
I couldn't help myself
I didn't want to 'cause I knew that it was
Messed up from the start
