Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I left the door half open

For the wrong kind of rain

Told myself I'd fix it later

But later felt the same

I kept the map with coffee stains

And took the longest way

Now every stop I passed by

Has my name on the frame

[Pre-Chorus]

I can hear it now

In the quiet of the room

All the little yeses

That turned into the bruise

[Chorus]

My hands made the mess

My heart kept the score

I was my own mistake

I can’t blame the floor

I broke what I touched

Then asked for more

My hands made the mess

My heart kept the score

[Verse 2]

I let the truth sit folded

At the bottom of my bag

Smiled like I had nothing

While the glass was starting to crack

I chose the easy answer

Over what was true

Now the mirror shows me

Everything I put you through

[Pre-Chorus]

I can hear it now

In the quiet of the room

All the little yeses

That turned into the bruise

[Chorus]

My hands made the mess

My heart kept the score

I was my own mistake

I can’t blame the floor

I broke what I touched

Then asked for more

My hands made the mess

My heart kept the score

[Bridge]

If I could meet that version

Standing in the shade

I'd take the cheap excuses

And throw them all away

I'd say, "Look at the damage"

"Don't call it fate"

"Every crooked choice you made

Had a price to pay"

[Final Chorus]

My hands made the mess

My heart kept the score

I was my own mistake

I can’t blame the floor

I broke what I touched

Then asked for more

My hands made the mess

My heart kept the score

[Outro]

Still, I’m here to learn

From the shape of what I lost

If regret can be a teacher

Then I’m paying the cost
