Messed up

[Verse 1]
Didn’t take very long after meeting you
For me to make a move
Less than a week
And I told myself not long before
That I had to focus on school
And any involvement with a girl
I would not seek

[Pre-Chorus]
But when you showed up
All the self-promises
And plans i made
Went straight out the window
I had the courage to start this
But I went about it all wrong
I’d never done it before
So I didn’t know what I was doing

[Chorus]
If I hadn’t messed up so bad
If I would’ve made up my mind
If I would’ve accepted your offer
Instead of telling you a lie
If I wouldn’t have let my doubts
Convince me that I knew best
If I wouldn’t have listened to my head
Instead of what’s in my chest
If I hadn’t messed up so bad
If I’d taken more time to think
Then I wouldn’t be tearing my hair out
Regretting every word I spoke
If I wouldn’t have pressured you in the first place
Maybe this would be fine
But I messed up so bad
And I’m mad ‘cause now we’ll never know
All because I messed up

[Hook]
Messed up
Messed up
Messed up
All because I messed up

[Verse 2]
Had an image in my mind
Of where I wanted us to be
But I tried too much
‘Cause being inside of a couple
Was something I’d always wanted to see
But I don’t know why I was in such a rush

[Bridge]
When you weren’t ready
I wouldn’t stop pushing you
Then when you came to get me
I backed off with some lame excuse
Now my heart is heavy
And I wish I had told the truth
But I guess now I’m living proof
Of the regret you feel
When you know you messed up

[Chorus]
If I hadn’t messed up so bad
If I would’ve made up my mind
If I would’ve accepted your offer
Instead of telling you a lie
If I wouldn’t have let my doubts
Convince me that I knew best
If I wouldn’t have listened to my head
Instead of what’s in my chest
If I hadn’t messed up so bad
If I’d taken more time to think
Then I wouldn’t be tearing my hair out
Regretting every word I spoke
If I wouldn’t have pressured you in the first place
Maybe this would be fine
But I messed up so bad
And I’m mad ‘cause now we’ll never know
All because I messed up

[Hook]
Messed up
Messed up
Messed up
All because I messed up
