"Life's A Mess" lyrics

Everything I have feels worn out
There's some strangers living in my old house
The place we used to meet
Got paved with concrete
They tore down the swing
Where you said you loved me
Listening to crimson and clover
Too bad we never got closure
Back when the weather was warmer
Now it only seems to get colder

I thought the world would stop in place
I thought that old was 28
And love came easy like the rain
But life's a mess and that's okay

I'll call my mother
To say I'm fine
I'm only getting better
At telling a lie
The same ones I tell myself
Like the pictures I left up on the shelf

I thought the world would stop in place
I thought that old was 28
And love came easy like the rain
But life's a mess and that's okay

By day by day
By day by day
We'll just take it day by day
By day by day
By day by day
Yeah we'll just take it day by day

I thought the world would stop in place
I thought that old was 28
And love came easy like the rain
But life's a mess and that's okay

Why's it gotta be
Why's it gotta be
Why's it gotta be so hard for me
