Mess I Made
Stand Atlantic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's gotta be a better way to
let this be told,
Don't know why you wanna stay when
I act so cold Drop my thoughts alone,
I never had my own,
‘Cause I'm lost inside,
I wanna fall into paradise
It's killing me, killing me,

I got this far on my own
Just colour me, colour me,
I'm so afraid
Underneath all of the mess that
I have made I don't wanna fade away,
let it slip off my tongue
What's another day awake with a twist in my lungs?
Drown in doubts alone,
I've always had my own,
‘Cause I'm lost inside,
Someone take me home
Try to find my way around the honest answers

It's killing me just living in the mess I made
I fell into a river of all




my own disasters and
Wash away the worst and leave me clean.
