[Intro]
Da-da-da-ra, da-da-da-ra
Da-da-da-ra, da-da-ra-ra-da-da
Da-da-ra-da, da-da-ra-da (Ha)
Da-da-da-ra, da-da-da-ra
Da-da-da-ra, da-da-ra-ra-da-da

[Verse 1]
Woke up today feelin' less than great
Got my work done late, oh (Screw these deadlines, seriously?)
Missed the train, two hour wait
And I barely ate (Just what is my life?)
Seems like everybody's got it all figured out
No matter where the hell I go
I always end up getting lost somehow
The spark guiding my way is slowly fizzing out

[Pre-Chorus]
Every night in my bed, I look up to the stars
'Cause I know what it's like to be so close and yet so far, oh
All these thoughts in my head and I fight the mental war
'Causе I really need to know, I need to know, I need you now
I need you, I'ma need you to understand that

[Chorus]
I can be a handful, hard to handlе
Down in flames, everything I touch
Is it a scandal if you try
And screw it up sometimes
I don't need your guidance or advice
I know I'm right where I want to be
My way
And all the people say
[Interlude]
I'm a mess, I'm a mess, I'm a mess (Ha-ha)
I'm a mess, so what a mess, that's what I like about me best (Bae)

[Verse 2]
Why don't we throw the dice (Huh)
Let's see what kind of trouble we can get into tonight (Uh-huh)
I like a little chaos in my life that's right (Yep)
What's with all the sugar, let me add a little spice, yeah
Seems like everybody's got it all figured out
Well ain't that good for them
'Cause so have I by now (Now)
It's my journey to take and I will find my route

[Pre-Chorus]
When I go to bed and I look up at the stars
I feel a sense of calm in knowing that there's something much greater than us (Ha-ah-ah-oh, woah)
And don't you think the point of life is having fun (Huh)
'Cause I really need to know, I need to know, I need you now
I need you, I'ma need you to understand that

[Chorus]
I can be a handful, hard to handle
Down in flames, everything I touch
Is it a scandal if you try
No, no, no, no
I realize that all I needed
Has been right here by my side
[Bridge]
All this time (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
All this time (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
All this time (Come on)
Hey

[Chorus]
I can be a handful, hard to handle (Ha)
Down in flames, everything I touch (Oh, woah)
Is it a scandal if you try
And screw it up sometimes
I don't need your guidance or advice
I know I'm right where I want to be (Be)
My way

[Post-Chorus]
Too bad you thought you got me chained (Too bad, too bad)
Now I'm flying, can't be tamed (Nah)
Let the wind carry away my thoughts and I know now I'm free
And you doubted that I would (Hoo-hoo), now I showed you that I could

[Outro]
Da-da-da-ra, da-da-da-ra
Da-da-da-ra, da-da-ra-ra-da-da
