Life's A Mess
Halsey Lyrics

Have you ever fallen head over heels for somebody?
Have you ever felt completely enamored with someone?

Not just somebody
Not just anyone, but a specific person.

No, no
A repetition emphasizing this particular person.

(Rex, you did again)
Rex, you've done it again by making Halsey feel these strong emotions.

Have you fallen head over heels for somebody
Have you been head over heels in love with someone?

That made promises to give you the world? Um
Who promised to give you everything and more?

I really hope they held you down
I hope they were there for you no matter what.

I really hope it was no lying
I really hope they weren't just telling you what you wanted to hear.

'Cause my heart breaks, it feels like the world's gone
Because when love goes wrong, it feels like the world is falling apart.

But if the love's real, you'd feel your soul roar like a lion
If the love is genuine, it will make you feel alive and powerful.

And you'd finally let bygones be bygones
You would forgive and move on from past hurts.

Don't throw in the towel, I know it feels like you're the only one trying
Don't give up, even when it feels like you're the only one making an effort.

You just gotta learn to live and love on
You need to keep going and keep loving even when times get tough.

I belong with the one put on this Earth for me
I believe there is one person on this earth meant for me.

Everybody has their someone, just gotta look and see
Everyone has their person, you just have to find them.

I'm screaming out, "Lord, help me, I've been lonely"
I've been desperately searching for someone to help me with my loneliness.

That's when you accept me, then you set me free
That's when I find the person who can accept me and make me feel truly free.

Uh, sometimes life's a mess
Sometimes life is chaotic and confusing.

I get high when I'm upset
I turn to substances to cope with my emotions.

I remember when me and love didn't click
I recall a time when I couldn't make a connection with someone I loved.

Searching for somethin' real then I found it
Looking for genuine love, then finally finding it.

Can't put you fucking back, well it's better now
I can't change the way things happened, but things are better now.

Through the trials and tribulations, I found my way out
I made it through tough experiences and emerged stronger.

Feel all of the good and bad vibrations all around
Sensing the ups and downs of life all around us.

All around us, they surround us
The experiences and emotions of life are all-encompassing and inescapable.

Was a lost cause with some lost love
There was a point when I felt hopeless and couldn't find the love I was seeking.

It ain't my fault, pain chose us
The pain of love and loss is not my fault, it's a part of life that chooses us all.

Then I found her
Then I found the person who made everything worth it.

My whole world turned upside down, uh
Everything changed for the better when I found love.

But for the better
Despite the challenges, everything is truly better now.

Thank God I finally found you
Expressing gratitude for finding the one person who brings joy and love into life.

You put the light in my eyes when I'm around you
Feeling alive and invigorated when with the person you love.

I'm too flawed to hold you down, but
I know I have imperfections that might hinder a relationship.

Don't wanna be here alone
I don't want to be lonely without the person I love.

I'll put the light in your eyes if I'm allowed to
I want to bring joy and happiness to the person I love.

Don't let me be here alone
Please don't leave me to be lonely without you.
