I'm sure you could tell by the way that I fell for you
And I'm sure you could see, 'cause I can't hide anything
I'm a mess on the inside and out
(I'm a mess on the inside and out)
I confess that I'm not fine right now
Right now
Lately, I've been stuck trying to keep you away
Fighting in my mind 'cause I want you to stay
My heart's overwhelmed 'cause I don't want to let it go
And I won't feel too well when I'm gone and you're happy here
I'm a mess on the inside and out
(I'm a mess on the inside and out)
I confess that I'm not fine right now
Right now
Lately, I've been stuck trying to keep you away
(Too close and I'll fall again)
Fighting in my mind 'cause I want you to stay
(Too close and you're in my head)
I'm a mess on the inside and out
I confess that I'm not fine right now
Promise you'll listen: I didn't plan to fall in love
Promise you'll hear me: I didn't mean to lose control
I'm a mess on the inside and out
Inside and out
Lately, I've been stuck trying to keep you away
(Too close and I'll fall again)
Fighting in my mind 'cause I want you to stay
(Too close and you're in my head)
I'm a mess on the inside and out
(I'm a mess on the inside and out)
I'm a mess on the inside and out
(I'm a mess on the inside and out)
I'm a mess on the inside and out
Lately, I've been stuck trying to keep you away
I'm a mess on the inside and out
Fighting in my mind 'cause I want you to stay
