Saad explained how this song came about in it’s soundcloud bio:
“hi guys. i wrote this song about a boy i met when i moved to la. everything was going great but then he ended things and i got fired from my bartending job.
c'est la vie, amirite?"
[Verse 1]
I don’t know why I'll stay up wondering
Open up my mouth, I'm stuttering
Can’t make up my mind anymore
With you, I used to be so sure
Wake up, we’d hit the coffee place
I’d get the same drink every day
Now I got that buyer’s remorse
With you I used to be sure, I'd
[Pre-Chorus]
Make it yeah, I never had any doubt
I was so up, nothing could get me down
Now I’m all in my head
And I can’t get out of it (can't get out of it)
[Chorus]
How’d I get so insecure?
Stressed out I don’t know what for
Well I guess I’m a mess, I’m a mess, I’m a mess
I’m a mess without u
Staying out 'til after four
Passed out on the bathroom floor
Well I guess I’m a mess, I’m a mess, I’m a mess
I’m a mess without you
I’m a mess without you
A mess without you
Without you
I’m a mess without you
A mess without you
A mess without-
[Verse 2]
Everyone says there’s something I can take
Blue pill, read a book, or meditate
Maybe see more into myself
Good god, I look like hell
Yeah, everything seems so hopeless now
All my momentum slowing down
Got me all in my head
And I can’t get out of it (can't get out of it)
[Chorus]
How’d I get so insecure?
Stressed out I don’t know what for
Well I guess I’m a mess, I’m a mess, I’m a mess
I’m a mess without you
Staying out 'til after four
Passed out on the bathroom floor
Well I guess I’m a mess, I’m a mess, I’m a mess
I’m a mess without you
I’m a mess without you
A mess without you
Without you
I’m a mess without you
Stressed out I’m a mess without you (I'm a mess without you)
Fucked up I'm a mess without you (A mess without you)
No luck I’m a mess without you
[Outro]
Good god I'm a mess without you
Stressed out I’m a mess without you
Fucked up I'm a mess without you
I’m a mess without you (One, two, three)
(Let's go)
(Again)
(Let's go)
A mess without you
I, yeah I'm a mess without you
I, I
