Same Old Mess
I'm the same old mess I've always been
a battle that I'll never win
a soup that anyone can stir
with a recipe that's all a blur
please don't mention it to her
she'd like to think I'm getting better
I don't want to upset her
she'll find out sooner or later
Avoid your eye
lie lie lie
refuse to cry
till I'm dry
Some wounds that never heal
don't necessarily kill
bleed it every now and then
and it looks just like a friend
it's not my place to worry
whether I'm in hell or purgatory
whatever it was in her voice I heard
I'll try and take her at her word
Avoid your eye
did you lie lie lie
|
refuse to cry
till it's dry
A moment's peace, I remember
only a moment or so ago
it might have been like that forever
we were too young to know
I'm the same old mess
I've always been
all this freedom hems me in
around every corner beauty lurks
I'm living for the little perks
a moment's peace, I remember
in the wilderness, me and her
nothing that we know of near
the look and smell of it is here
Ahhh...
A moment's peace, I remember
only a moment or so ago
it might've been like that forever
we were too young to know
