I'm in love with the thought of you
But a thought's not enough to hold onto
Oh, the distance just made a mess
And the warmest embrace couldn't fix it

Now I'm helpless when I'm alone
I can't be in my room at all
And the truth is that I'm a mess
Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you

I'm in love with the way it was
When you had faith that we had a purpose
Oh, I dreamed and you dreamed with me
Of the life that could never deserve us

Now I'm helpless when I'm alone
Oh, this home's not a home at all
And the truth is that I'm a mess
Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you

I guess you never know what the future holds
Just two weeks ago, we were happy, maybe it was just me
I never would have guessed how this all regressed
How you loved me less, til the words came on that morning
Left my heart on a string in your doorway

And the truth is that I'm a mess
Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you
