[Verse 1]
I keep a spreadsheet of the things I regret
Color-coded reasons I should get some rest
The clock says morning, I say "not impressed"
One more little spiral, then I’ll handle the mess
My cart is full of miracles I’ll never use
A satin little problem in a brand-new pair of shoes
I call it self-care with a straight face, too
The bank app sends a warning; I send back a heart or two
[Pre-Chorus]
I know exactly what I’m doing
That’s the funniest part
I light the fuse, admire the smoke
Then blame it on my heart
[Chorus]
I’m a bad habit in a good dress
Making poor decisions look expensive
Up all night, overthinking nothing
Buying little trophies for the suffering
Oh, I know, I know, I’m a mess
But I wear it like a gold necklace
Call me reckless, call me dramatic
I call it being highly problematic
[Verse 2]
I’ve got seventeen tabs open in my brain
Three are about the future, four are mostly pain
I read a text from Tuesday like it holds a secret name
Then punish my tomorrow for a crime it never made
I promise I’ll be sensible after this one treat
Then somehow there’s a delivery waiting at my feet
I’m building an empire out of things I don’t need
With a royal little overdraft and a crown of receipts
[Pre-Chorus]
I know exactly where this leads me
Still I take the scenic route
If consequences want my attention
They can stand in line outside
[Chorus]
I’m a bad habit in a good dress
Making poor decisions look expensive
Up all night, overthinking nothing
Buying little trophies for the suffering
Oh, I know, I know, I’m a mess
But I wear it like a gold necklace
Call me reckless, call me dramatic
I call it being highly problematic
[Bridge]
Here’s to the midnight investigations
Here’s to the impulse renovations
Here’s to saying, "This is the last one"
With a shopping bag under my arm
I could change, but where’s the theater?
Who wants calm when chaos looks cleaner?
I’m not broken, I’m just committed
To every bad idea I’ve revisited
[Breakdown]
Sleep is for the well-adjusted
Budgets are a rumor
I’ll be fine by Friday morning
Probably sooner
[Final Chorus]
I’m a bad habit in a good dress
Making poor decisions look expensive
Up all night, overthinking nothing
Buying little trophies for the suffering
Oh, I know, I know, I’m a mess
But I wear it like a gold necklace
Call me reckless, call me dramatic
I call it being highly problematic
[Outro]
Close the tab, unlock the phone
One more purchase, then I’m done
Tell tomorrow I’ll make amends
Same bad habits, better friends
