Messy But Cute

Woke up late in my best friend’s tee

Mascara stains staring back at me

Phone on 3%, missed his call

Said I wouldn’t text back, but I might still call

Shoes in the backseat, keys in my hand

Life don’t go right, but it goes how it can

Mama said “slow down,” I said “maybe soon”

But the night still young and it’s almost June

⸻

I know I say I’m done with drama

But it keeps finding me

I try to be my own main character

But chaos follows me

⸻

I’m a little too loud, a little too honest

Heart on my sleeve, yeah I can’t stop it

I mess it up, then laugh it off

Say “I’m fine” like it’s not my fault

I fall too fast, I cry in the car

Dance like nobody’s watching at the bar

I’m not perfect, never claimed I was

I’m messy, but cute — that’s close enough

⸻

Oh-oh-oh

That’s close enough

Oh-oh-oh

Yeah, I’m messy but—

⸻

Playlist stuck on repeat again

Same sad song, same ex best friend

Say I’m over it, but we both know

If he texts tonight, I might still go

Lip gloss pop, confidence fake

Smile for the pic, delete the take

I say “I’m chill,” but I feel too much

Call it a flaw or call it a crush

⸻

I try to be cool, play it steady

But my heart don’t listen

I overthink everything at night

Then forget it by the morning

⸻

I’m a little too loud, a little too honest

Heart on my sleeve, yeah I can’t stop it

I mess it up, then laugh it off

Say “I’m fine” like it’s not my fault

I fall too fast, I cry in the car

Dance like nobody’s watching at the bar

I’m not perfect, never claimed I was

I’m messy, but cute — that’s close enough

⸻

Hands up if you don’t got it figured out

Hands up if you fake it, then freak out

If you say you’re done, then spin back around

Yeah, welcome to the sound

⸻

I’m a little too loud, a little too honest

Heart on my sleeve, yeah I can’t stop it

I mess it up, then laugh it off

Say “I’m fine” like it’s not my fault

I fall too fast, I cry in the car

Dance like nobody’s watching at the bar

I’m not perfect, never claimed I was

I’m messy, but cute — that’s close enough

⸻

Yeah

Close enough

I’ll figure it out tomorrow
