lyrics

I can still smell your gum and cigarettes sitting across my shoulder
Mixed with my sweater, mixed with my sweat, and I want you to hold me
I saw your face light up by the music that played with your head on my legs
I felt so at home, but then I felt so alone, and I knew that I'd fkd up already

So now I'm wearing the enamel off my fingernail polish
trying to pen a song to figure out how I lost you
I'm all dolled up on the laundry in my bedroom
the tomboy turncoat in red rubber rainboots

and now I'm a mess. Oh, I'm a mess. Yeah, I'm a mess.

I can still taste late night pizza slices
We're playing on benches and parkways
And, god, I need sleep, but you're stuck in my head
I can't get you out. It's a problem.

Well I made a mistake, I was in the wrong place
at the wrong time. I turn around, I see your face
and the floor dropped out and my stomach dropped down
and my heart hit the ground. It was over.

and now I'm a mess. Oh, I'm a mess. Yeah, I'm a mess.

So move on. And move out of my mind.
So move on. And move out. I'll be fine.

Well you are my nemesis and you are my muse.
You're my nemesis and my best abuse.
And I can't shake the feeling that I can't shake you
so I think I'm staying in tonight.

Cause I'm a mess. You left me a wreck. Oh I'm a mess and there's no going back.

I can still smell your gum and cigarettes.
I can still smell your gum and cigarettes.
