lyrics

Maybe I'm a mess and you're a miracle
And maybe wishful thinking finally got me down
What if all I'm feeling is a chemical reaction to the way your voice sounds
This hurts in ways I can’t ignore
Pain makes me want you even more
Make believe it's all inevitable
Swore you'd leave the moment you were getting bored

Cut me up inside
I'm dying just to feel alive
To feel you leave me
Feel you grieve me
Feel you breathe me out
and I did it all for spite
I'm dying trying to get it right
To feel you leave me
Feel you grieve me
Feel you open up my mind

Maybe I'm a mess and you're a criminal
I thought I'd cleaned me up until you came around
Got me high off all of your adrenaline
You could call it off, but honey I ain’t backing out
Your danger games I can’t ignore
They make me want you even more
Mama said I'm so impressionable
Lock me up in a hospital or let me out

Lately I admit that I’ve been feeling little
Your larger than life approach
It got me acting bent, I was on the mend, Now I'm on the fence, relapsing
And what if I was trying to impress a little
I know you know you caught my eye
Sugar and spice, sharp things are nice. Your kisses kept me coming
But you're lethal and you're leaving
I know that wanting to stay crazy
Look what I've become. Look what I have done. Your brand of love could kill me

I could have closed my eyes. I should have shut off
Maybe then I'd still be fine
