The Little Mess You Made Lyrics
[Verse 1: FINNEAS]
The little mess you made
Is filling up our room
A little bit of rain
Is filling up our shoes
Maybe second place
Is just the first to lose
You can have your cake
You can have mine too
[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]
Say when
You'll never see me again
[Verse 2: Ashe, Ashe & FINNEAS]
The little mess you made
Is all over the news
The littlest mistake
Can leave the darkest bruise
Maybe I'm too late
Maybe it's too soon
Who gets all the blame?
I guess it's up to you
[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS, Ashe]
Say when
You'll never see me again
Just pretend (Pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend)
She was just a friend (A friend, a friend, a friend, a friend)
[Bridge: FINNEAS, Ashe]
The little mess you made, the little mess you made
Is filling up our room, is all over the news
A little bit of rain, the littlest mistake
Is filling up our shoes, can leave the darkest bruise
Maybe second place, maybe I'm too late
Is just the first to lose, maybe it's too soon
You can have your cake, who gets all the blame?
You can have mine too, I guess it's up to you
[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]
Say when
You'll never see me again
[Outro]
"[Finn / Again?]"

What was the writing process like for "The Little Mess You Made"?
That was a fun process and very indicative of involving a band. I had written most of that song and played it for Ashe as a long ballad.
