I’ve Been a Mess

Lazarus wasn't grateful for his second wind
For another chance, watch his chances fade like the dawn
And me, I can barely tell you just how pale I get without you

'Cause I've been a mess since you've been gone
I've been a mess since you've been gone

What were the first words that crowd heard him speak
I bet he was cursing at the sky, I bet he wasn't turning no other cheek
And was there still hope and desire, hope and desire left in his heart for the last word, for the last word in love

'Cause I've been a mess since you've been gone
I've been a mess since you've been gone

Your beauty, well it's just a slap in the face
That's gonna bring me back to life, back to another sky that's blue
It's gonna turn me into another great American zombie so hungry, so hungry for you

Well I've been a mess since you've been gone
I've been a mess since you've been gone
I've been a mess since you've been gone
Yeah, I– I've been a mess since you've been gone
