Dirty, Dirty Mess

Pace yourself, the reoccurring words
I told myself I'd never let you pull me down so low
Been down that road but not ever again, never again, no
Brace yourself, the feeling's getting worse
You play with hearts when you think it stays between the sheets
That shit always seems to follow me

And that's one too many times I've tried to make this right
That's one too many times I've tried to make this right

I'm supposed to lose my mind
And marvel at the dirty, dirty mess you've made?
The dirty, dirty mess you've made
Well, I tried and tried and tried
But I can't erase the dirty, dirty mess you've made
The dirty, dirty mess you've made

As I recall, I never wanted this
Feelings move too fast and our emotions got the best of us
They seem to always bring the worst from us, oh

And that's one too many times I've tried to make this right
That's one too many times I've tried to make this right

I'm supposed to lose my mind
And marvel at the dirty, dirty mess you've made?
The dirty, dirty mess you've made
Well I tried and tried and tried
But I can't erase the dirty, dirty mess you've made
The dirty, dirty mess you've made

Was it in the way you made it all about you?
Was it how you never thought it'd come to this?
Oh, I sympathize, girl, but I've realized more
It's what you do
Next time you fall in love, you should bring a parachute

Pace yourself, the reoccurring words
I told myself I'd never let you pull me down so low
Why did I let you bring me down?

I'm supposed to lose my mind
And marvel at the dirty, dirty mess you've made?
The dirty, dirty mess you've made
Was it in the way you made it all about you?
Well I tried and tried and tried
But I can't erase the dirty, dirty mess you've made
The dirty, dirty mess you've made
