make a mess

[VERSE]

i've been good

at getting worse,

been biting back

when we converse

now everybody wants

a little piece of me

then acts surprised

when i show my teeth

i can be cruel

a watercolored smile

give me just a moment

if you're looking for hostile

cuz now every little thing

is getting on my nerves

and maybe, just maybe

i want to give the world exactly...

what it deserves

[PRE-CHORUS]

i could let it be

(if it would let me)

i could let it be

(if it would let me)

[CHORUS]

i wanna make a mess

of the things that stay cared for

i wanna put my hands

where they don't belong

i wanna leave a mark

they're gonna be talking about

hear a perfect little thing

make an imperfect loud sound

[VERSE]

i've had enough

of giving a fuck

come right in

lets call all bluffs

now everybody wants

the waters calm

just when i'm all set up

to do mass harm

[PRE-CHORUS]

i could let it be

(if it would let me)

i could let it be

(if it would let me)

[CHORUS]

i wanna make a mess

of the things that stay cared for

i wanna put my hands

where they don't belong

i wanna leave a mark

they're gonna be talking about

hear a perfect little thing

make an imperfect loud sound

[BRIDGE]

sweet disposition

sour little habit

i see a good thing

i reach out to grab it

palm full of splinters

show you like a gift

quiet for a minute

then i put my weight on it

sweet disposition

(tell me with your words)

sour little habit

(the things that you have learned)

i see a good thing

(the cuts that you have earned)

i reach out to grab it

(and can't ever return)

palm full of splinters

(tell me with your words)

show you like a gift

(the things that you have learned)

quiet for a minute

(the cuts that you have earned)

then i put my weight on it

(and can't ever return)

[CHORUS]

i wanna make a mess

of the things that stay cared for

i wanna put my hands

where they don't belong

i wanna leave a mark

they're gonna be talking about

hear a perfect little thing

make an imperfect loud sound
