messed up

Didn't take very long after meeting you
For me to make a move
Less than a week
And I told myself not long before
That I had to focus on school
And any involvement with a girl I would not seek
But when you showed up
All the self promises I made
It went straight out the window

I had the courage to stop this
But I went about it all wrong
I'd never done it before
Oh, I didn't know what I was doing

If I hadn't messed so bad
If I would've made up my mind
If I would've accepted your robber
Instead of turning you alive
If I wouldn't have left my dials
Convinced me that on your past
If I wouldn't have listened to my head
Instead of what's in my chest

If I hadn't messed up so bad
If I'm taking more time to think
Then I wouldn't be tearing my head 'round
Reading every word I spoke
If I wouldn't have pressured you in the first place
Maybe this would be fine

But I messed up so bad
And I'm mad, 'cause now we'll never know
All because I messed up
Messed up
Messed up (messed up)
Messed up
All because I messed up

Had an image in my mind
Of where I wanted us to be
But I tried too much
'Cause being inside
Of a couple was something I always wanted to see

But I don't know where I was in such a rush
When you weren't ready
I wouldn't stop pushing you
When you came to get me
I backed up with some lame excuse
My heart is heavy
And I wish I had told the truth
But I guess now I'm living proof
Of that regret you feel when you know you messed up

If I hadn't messed so bad
If I would've made up my mind
If I would've accepted your robber
Instead of turning you alive
If I wouldn't have left my dials
Convinced me that on your past
If I wouldn't have listened to my head
Instead of what's in my chest

If I hadn't messed up so bad
If I'm taking more time to think
Then I wouldn't be tearing my head 'round
Reading every word I spoke
If I wouldn't have pressured you in the first place
Maybe this would be fine

But I messed up so bad
And I'm mad, 'cause now we'll never know
All because I messed up, yeah
Messed up
All because I messed up
Messed up
All because I messed up (ooh)
