Look at my
Beautiful mess
What have I
Done to deserve this
And you try
To do your best
Then you find
Yourself in a beautiful mess

You’ll have an ideal in mind
But I confess
I’m so glad to put that behind
‘cause life’s a beautiful mess
And you’ll fuck up too sometime
So learn how to forgive
I was so afraid to die
I was afraid to live

I want to forget the pain sometimes I wish
But I’m so glad that we’re not goldfish.
