You know that I'm a mess
Can’t walk, can’t breathe,
Can’t live according to plan
I'm always screwing it up
Your perfect world,
My crash and burn
I scream, I fall,
I ruin it all.
I'm sorry I can't fix me
Just to make you love me.
You know that I’m a mess
Can’t walk, can’t breathe,
Can’t live according to plan
I'm always messing it up
Your perfect world,
My mess again.
I scream, I fall,
I ruin it all.
I’m sorry I can’t fix me
To make you want me,
To make you respect me.
I’m a pill too hard to swallow,
Not the dose you expected.
You choke when you try to take me
Well, I’m sorry I’m difficult.
My mind’s not built like yours,
Never thought the same way.
I scream, I shout, I run, I crawl,
I break, I mend, I carry it all.
It’s not my fault, I was born this way,
I’m just the product of what you made.
You know that I’m a mess.
One thing I know
I don’t belong in the world you own.
I tried to fit, but my life won't allow me.
I know I’m a hard pill to swallow,
Always breaking the rules you follow.
But I just can’t help myself
I keep messing it all up.
I tried to be what you wanted me to,
But naturally I stray from the rules.
I can't help you don’t respect me,
I can't help I'm a mess...
Yeah, I'm a mess.
Oh...
You know that I’m a mess
Can’t walk, can’t breathe,
Can’t live according to plan
I'm always messing it up
Your perfect world,
My crash and burn
I scream, I fall,
I ruin it all.
I’m sorry I can’t fix me
To make you love me,
To make you respect me.
You know that I’m a mess
Can’t walk, can’t breathe,
Can’t live according to plan.
I'm always messing it up
Your perfect world,
My mess again
I scream, I fall,
I ruin it all.
I’m sorry I can’t fix me
To make you love me,
To make you respect me.
