Frank Iero and the Patience
I’m A Mess
[Verse 1]
Try not to wake me up 'cause I don't feel too good
I'm tired of miracles and being so understood
Let's all be difficult and never try too hard
Let's all be critical of those who show their heart
If this sounds typical then congratulate yourself
I'm proud I'm miserable but don't tell anyone
'Cause I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just lost, they said
Maybe I'm just tired, or dead
Inside, something's wrong with me
Maybe that's just how I am
Maybe I'm a mess
And I ain't gonna change
[Verse 2]
So tired of being old and feeling cold and numb
So tired of being told I'm acting young and dumb
I'm not as quick to say that I wish I could quit
I gave up on giving up and lost myself a bit trying to be a ghost
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just lost, they said
Maybe I'm just tired, or dead
Inside, something's wrong with me
Maybe that's just how I am
Maybe I'm a mess
And I ain't gonna change
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be there
I don't wanna be anywhere
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be there
Save your breath, save your breath, save your breath, save your breath 'cause I don't care
Hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath, hold your breath, we need the air
I write the bastard songs that make me feel alive
I like the saddest songs pretending I'm alright
But maybe it's me
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just fine with it
Finally proud to live inside my own skin
Maybe that's just who I am
Maybe I'm a mess
Maybe I'm just lost, they said
Maybe I'm just tired, or dead
Inside, something's wrong with me
Maybe that's just how I am
Maybe I'm a mess
Maybe that's just how I am
I'm just a mess
And I don't wanna change
