[Verse 1]
I'm a mess, I've been a mess for months
I know it's real
I've been doing anything I can to numb how it feels
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that putting all this liquor in my body
Won't exonerate me from the guilt that haunts me
No, there's nothing in the world that's gonna stop me
Still I wait for you
And I know
[Chorus]
It's late and I wanna go home
But I'm scared of how quiet it'll be without you
I hate taking off my own clothes
Getting in my own bed
Spinning thoughts about you
It's late and I'm waiting behind
For the drugs to kick in
And erase my body
And I hate how it's all in my head
Smoking your cigarettes
Thinking you could still want me, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm a mess, I've been a mess for months
I know it's true
I look for validation from anybody that's not you, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that putting all this liquor in my body
Won't exonerate me from the guilt that haunts me
No, there's nothing in the world that's gonna stop me
Still I wait for you
And I know
[Chorus]
It's late and I wanna go home
I'm scared of how quiet it'll be without you
I hate taking off my own clothes
Getting in my own bed
Spinning thoughts about you
It's late and I'm waiting behind
For the drugs to kick in
And erase my body
I hate how it's all in my head
Smoking your cigarettes
Thinking you could still want me, yeah
[Outro]
It's late and I'm waiting behind
For the drugs to kick in
And erase my body
I hate how it's all in my head
And I know I'm a mess
Thinking you could still want me, yeah
