[Intro]
It’s a heavy heart, it's a long road,
Trying to help, carrying this load,
But every time I reach for your hand,
It seems you don’t understand.
[Verse 1]
Family ties can be so tough,
I wanna lift you, but you're acting rough,
I clean the mess, I sweep the floor,
But every day there's more and more.
[Pre-Chorus]
I shout it out, "Please just hear me now,"
You turn your back, like I’m lost somehow,
I don’t mean to be harsh, just want some peace,
But when I say it, you just increase the lease.
[Chorus]
Oh, the mess is growing,
And I feel like I’m blowing,
Trying to be the one to help you see,
Why don't you care about clean and free?
I’m the villain now, setting boundaries tight,
But it’s hard to keep my heart right.
[Verse 2]
Every corner filled with yesterday’s dreams,
Cleaning up feels like bursting at the seams,
I offered love, I offered time,
Yet here I stand, feeling so unkind.
[Pre-Chorus]
You say I’m mean, a burden with no rhyme,
But what am I supposed to do with this climb?
It's not just clutter, it’s a way of life,
And I can't bear the weight of this strife.
[Chorus]
Oh, the mess is growing,
And I feel like I’m blowing,
Trying to be the one to help you see,
Why don't you care about clean and free?
I’m the villain now, setting boundaries tight,
But it’s hard to keep my heart right.
[Bridge]
I wish you’d just lend me your ear,
See the love wrapped up in my fear,
I don’t want to push you far away,
But I can’t clean up every single day.
[Chorus]
Oh, the mess is growing,
And I feel like I’m blowing,
Trying to be the one to help you see,
Why don't you care about clean and free?
I’m the villain now, setting boundaries tight,
But it’s hard to keep my heart right.
[Outro]
So here I stand, at this crossroad now,
Trying to figure out some way, some how,
If love means cleaning, I’ll take a step back,
But my love's not a burden, that’s a fact.
