Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put my trust in things I don't need
My poor heart should be mad at me
I just leave my wounds to bleed
Haven't I learned anything
You showed me signs to help me see
But I love so blindly
God I get it
I'm a mess and I admit it, whoa
I keep learning the same lessons
While I'm missing out on blessings
God I get it, whoa whoa
God I get it
I'm a mess and I admit it, whoaaa
I keep learning the same lessons
While I'm missing out on blessings
God I get it
Probably should of just had one glass
But instead I started a bath
Don't feel better, I still feel bad
Not the first time, won't be the last
Haven't I learned anything
Showed me signs to help me see
But I love so blindly
I'm taking full responsibility
God I get it
I'm a mess and I admit it, whoa
I keep learning the same lessons
While I'm missing out on blessings
God I get it, whoa
God I get it
I'm a mess and I admit it, whoa
I keep learning the same lessons
While I'm missing out on blessings
God I get it
I know the truth but still do wrong
No it can't be worked
I'd rather be left alone
They don't know my heart
They tear me apart
Tryna get it together
God! I get it!
I'm a mess and I admit it, yeah whoa
I keep learning the same lessons
While I'm missing out on blessings
God I get it, whoa
God I get it
I'm a mess and I admit it, whoa
I keep learning the same lessons
While I'm missing out on blessings
God I get it
