Messes

[Verse 1]

You used to keep me a secret

That nobody else could know

Made me feel so alone

But I'll be damned if I let it show

But now it's like you hardly know me

So I've been busy minding my own

But I'm finding your finger prints

In some places they don't belong

[Chorus]

Be careful 'cause the lights come on

Without a warning

People seem so confused

When they take home what they earn

[Verse 2]

He left a dark place behind him

And hell was just a bottle away

But heaven's what he sold himself

At the end of a long day

Surprised him when she came home early

Caught him with his hand in the jar

He tried to protest

But he was already done for

[Bridge]

Messes in the dark make headlines every morning

Everyone makes mistakes

Like it's the only way we learn

[Chorus]

Be careful 'cause the lights come on

Without a warning

People seem so confused

When they're caught with some bullshit

Messes in the dark make headlines every morning

Everyone makes mistakes

Like it's the only way we learn
