A song of admission, and asking for forgiveness.

lyrics

I Know I’ve Made a Mess This Time

When the smallest things turn over
Into the biggest fight
We’re always saying that we’re sorry
Losing track of who was right
It’s like cleaning up the kitchen
That gets dirty every night
I know I made a mess this time

If I was standing in your shoes
I’d be walking out the door
I don’t know how you have the courage
To keep coming back for more of this
It’s like sleeping on our sofa
That's uncomfortable, but sorely missed
I know I made a mess this time

It’s like digging through old photographs
To recreate those captured laughs
To find a smile through all of those tears
It’s like counting backwards ten to one
It’s hard to hear, hard to listen
Without falling down on two deaf ears
I know I made a mess this time

Oh I made a mess, I see it
Oh I made a mess, I’ll clean it
Oh I made a mess, I’ll fix it
Oh I made a mess, I see
I know I made a mess this time
