lyrics

PRETTY MESS
(Desmarais-Racine)

Heavenly songs written 'bout her
How can I justified them all?
Under the wooden bridge, too much water
I ain't prepared for the fall

I am just a lonely child
And I have practically no pride

When you came along, I was hungry
I been sick and criticized
The title of my crown said: no vacancy
And you left me petrified

Now I'm cleanin' my head from
The paintings I'm holdin' on
In the hopes I will someday
Be free from that dreadful month of May
Finally I'll be able to say

So long pretty mess
You are way too much stress
Haven't seen your face in a year or two
Still sitting here singing about you
So goodbye for now I guess
I'll put my love to rest
But if you are passing through town
Call me so we can mess around

Growing up with a will for bigger
How am I reaching 25?
With one girl I'm a rock, a train to the other
I am surprised she survived

And the things I did so wrong
I knew them all along

Pulled a Mosby move on our first date
Bringing up kids back at your folks
5 years worth of love in only one stare
Enough to make anyone choke

Still you tried to keep the beat
You stick with me for weeks
And repeat what I would say
To see if I was your way
I wasn't so you had to get away

So long pretty mess
You are way too much stress
Haven't seen your face in a year or two
Still sitting here singing about you
So goodbye for now I guess
I'll put my love to rest
But if you are passing through town
Call me so we can mess around
