When You Mess Up

[Verse 1]
You seem so young again
I think that's because you're in pain
Don't be so hard on yourself
For God's sake have a cigarette
And don't stoop to laugh at yourself
Have another cigarette

[Pre-Chorus]
Have a drink, talk too loud
Be a fool in the crowd
But forgive yourself
Forgive yourself

[Chorus]
To sing is to pray twice
And I hate people who give me advice
When you mess up
And baby, you'll mess up

[Verse 2]
You seem so young again
Oh, but it's hard to explain
Don't be so hard on yourself
Don't think you're "inappropriate"
And don't just discard your old self
You're never "inappropriate"

[Pre-Chorus]
In a world of micro-agressions
Little human transgressions
Forgive yourself
Forgive yourself

[Chorus]
To sing is to pray twice
And I hate people who give me advice
When you mess up
And baby, you'll mess up
When you mess up
And Christ, we all mess up
