MESS

I always smile, but it doesn't reach my eyes
And I'm forgetful, but I promise that I try
It's a curse and a blessing
The way that I'm never resting

My mind's always moving much faster than my mouth
I know what to say, but it never comes out right
You know what I mean, right? (You know what I mean right now)

This party is too loud
The noise makes me stressed out
I know, oh, I know

I'm a mess
But it doesn't make me less than you
I'm naive
But still, I wish the best for you
And I may make mistakes that I shouldn't at my age
I know I'm not incompetent
But, damn, you make me feel that way

You make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Sometimes my own room is the safest that I feel
And nothing around me feels like it's real
I sit alone in a panic
There's always something I'm forgetting

I always remember the strangest things I've said
When I'm alone at night in my bed
And my head is a choir and my only desire's for silence (ssh)

And my thoughts are racing
The fear I keep chasing
I know, oh, I know

I'm a mess
But it doesn't make me less than you
I'm naive
But still, I wish the best for you
And I may make mistakes that I shouldn't at my age
I know I'm not incompetent
But, damn, you make me feel that way
