Makin' a Mess

I was raised in a faraway land
Trying to be number one
Dad used to tell me - Whatever you do
Never let go 'til you're done

I was fighting as anyone
I was twisted around
I was broke just as anyone
On the way, way down

Never ever settle for less
Raise you hand it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs the crown when you're head's on the ground, let me out, I'm just makin' a mess

Chip on my shoulder and look on my face
Changing my life on the fly
Too late to make it and too late to stop
Too late to figure out why

I can make you as anyone
I can twist you around
I can make you as anyone
On the way, way down

Never ever settle for less
Raise you hand it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs the crown when you're head's on the ground, let me out, I'm just makin' a mess

The wind of sadness can shade the heart of gold
I'm gonna leave it all behind
I'm prayin' for a break, if I could face the world
Without the sadness of my mind

Never ever settle for less
Raise you hand it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs the crown when you're head's on the ground...

Never ever settle for less
Raise you hand it's to kill or to bless
Never ever settle for less
Who needs the crown when you're head's on the ground, let me out, I'm just makin' a mess
