Album: Parachutes (2016)

I'm A Mess

Try not to wake me up, cause I don't feel too good.
I'm tired of miracles and being so understood.
Let's all be difficult and never try too hard.
Let's all be critical of those who show their heart.
If this sounds typical then congratulate yourself.
I'm proud I'm miserable but don't tell anyone because I'm breaking down.

Maybe I'm just lost they said.
Maybe I'm just tired or dead inside.
Something's wrong with me.
Maybe that's just how I am…
Maybe I'm a mess and I ain't gonna change.

So tired of being old and feeling cold and numb.
So tired of being told I'm acting young and dumb.
I'm not as quick to say that I wish I could quit.
I gave up on giving up and lost myself a bit trying to be a ghost.

Maybe I'm just lost they said.
Maybe I'm just tired or dead inside.
Something's wrong with me.
Maybe that's just how I am…
Maybe I'm a mess and I ain't gonna change.

I don't wanna be here. I don't wanna be there, I don't wanna be anywhere.
I don't wanna be here. I don't wanna be there.
Save your breath, save your breath, save your breath, save your breath because I don't care.
Hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath, we may need the air.
I write the bastard songs, they make me feel alive.
I like the saddest songs and pretending I'm alright... but maybe it's me.

Maybe I'm just fine with it.
Finally proud to live
Inside my own skin.
Maybe that's just who I am.
Maybe I'm a mess.

Maybe I'm just lost they said.
Maybe I'm just tired or dead inside.
Something's wrong with me.
Maybe that's just how I am…
Maybe I'm a mess.
Baby that's just how I am,
I am just a mess… And I don't wanna change.
