"MESS" lyrics

"MESS"

I always smile but it doesn't reach my eyes
And I'm forgetful but I promise that I try
It's a curse and a blessing
The way that I'm never resting
My mind's always moving much faster than my mouth
I know what to say but it never comes out right
You know what I mean, right? (You know what I mean, right? No)

This party is too loud
The noise makes me stressed out
I know (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I know

I'm a mess
But that doesn't make me less than you
I'm naive
But still I wish the best for you
And I may make mistakes that I shouldn't at my age
I know I'm not incompetent
But, damn, you make me feel that way

You make me feel that way, you make me feel that way
You make me feel that way, ah
Ah

Sometimes my own room is the safest that I feel
And nothing around me feels like it's real
I sit alone in a panic, there's always something I'm forgetting
I always remember the strangest things I've said
When I'm alone at night in my bed
And my head is a choir, and my only desire is for silence, shh

And my thoughts are racing
The fear I keep chasing
I know
(Oh, I know)

I'm a mess
But that doesn't make me less than you
I'm naive
But still I wish the best for you
And I may make mistakes that I shouldn't at my age
I know I'm not incompetent
But, damn, you make me feel that way
