Matt Gregory - MESS OF ME

I’ve been breaking down
I’ve been lovesick through the longest nights
I’ve been going out
To chase tequila with a hollow smile
Scared to make a sound
Won’t let nobody know
I’ve been seeing ghosts
Every shadow is your silhouette
I go on walks alone
Feet are still retracing every step
On streets that we took
Wandering in the snow
Pretend I’m fine
Stumbling home alone
In the middle of the night
I’ve been drowning in my dreams
Going through the motions
Still desperately trying to be
What you said I’d never be
When you walked away from me
You made a mess of me
I’ve been getting by trying to cry
Just to pass the time
I’ve been telling lies in my mind
Saying we had what it took
But you never looked at me
Like someone who loves me should
Don’t think you ever could
You said you’d rather have someone
With their walls down
Instead of just going in
And tearing all my walls down
Were you afraid
What you’d find
To be mine
That I’d leave you lonely
Like you left me
In the middle of the night
I’ve been drowning in my dreams
Going through the motions
Still desperately trying to be
What you said I’d never be
When you walked away from me
So I tear myself apart
Fighting with your memory
Or am I fighting with myself
I can’t help wondering
If I showed you more of me
Could this end differently
You made a mess of me
I build me up
To break me down again
Been getting used to
You under my skin
If I let you go
Did I let you win
Or can I start again
In the middle of the night
I’ve been drowning in my dreams
Going through the motions
Still desperately trying to be
What you said I’d never be
When you walked away from me
So I tear myself apart
Fighting with your memory
Or am I fighting with myself
I can’t help wondering
If I showed you more of me
Could this end differently
You made a mess of me
