Messy

I couldn’t tell you the last time I was able to breathe
I’ve been smoking these cigarettes as much as a need
And I couldn’t tell just when you decided to leave
I left the keys on the counter but I never did believe that you would

Make it all messy
You’re making a mess of me
I didn’t mean for it to get out of hand
But it did

Can you put the gun back in the glove compartment?
You’re letting your hair fall down
As your walls stayed up
I stayed the week with you in your apartment
I don’t know why I do this
Oh, I hate having you around

It’s all messy
You’re making a mess of me
I don’t have what you need
It’s all messy

Do you remember those 24 hours when you wouldn’t let me eat?
I said that I loved you in the middle of the street
Then you pushed me aside, there were cars flying by
But I didn’t care if I lived or died
Cause there was something about you that just got under my skin
You had a tendency to expose who I am
And I couldn’t trust it, so I would go mum
Til we’d spill our devotion three months on
But all the pages got ripped up
Your words got tripped up
Was I noncommittal, hyper-critical of your dream world?
Or were we both delusional?

Cause it was messy
You made a mess of me
Why couldn’t we leave?
It how it was before

It all got messy
