Make a Mess

Ah-ah, ah-ah

I never felt this way before and won't again

But I just can't get this feeling pried away from both your hands

There's no way I can meet all these demands

And this gun you're holdin' to my head will only make a mess

If God is on my side, can someone tell me why

I wake up every morning scared that I'll be crucified?

"And I'm at a loss, so what the fuck do I have to prove?" I said

(I can't keep holding you back)

And when it's gone too far

And so the hand you hold

Becomes the hand that makes you suffocate

We knew this wouldn't last

Have you learned from the feeling?

Try to see past the scars when they're healing

Do you understand me?

We can't keep on making this worse

When we knew this wouldn't last

(We both knew this wouldn't last)

(We both knew this wouldn't last)

(We both knew this wouldn't last)

(I can't keep holding you back)

When we knew this wouldn't la-
