[Intro]

So I've been gone for, um, six month

Now I'm back in LA

Nothing is really changed but a lot is different


[Verse 1]

I call myself a piece of shit

Like twenty thousand times a day

I really got no confidence

I can’t believe I’m twenty…

And life has gone away

I write to right my wrongs away

At night I watch Three’s Company

But I ain’t got no company

I wish that I was happier

I wish my hooks were catchier

I wish my looks were prettier

Like how could I be nerdier

I worked so hard to make my mark

I get critiqued and fall apart

I buy liqu- at the mini-mart

Popping killers for my broken heart


[Chorus]

I’m a mess

You know I’d be lying if I told you I was doing my best

At least I confess that I’m a mess

And I’d be lying if I told you I was going to do better

Probably never


[Verse 2]

These days I wake up with a smile on my face

I know I’m a basket case

That’s okay

It’s in the cards for me

And you, you could be like me too

Don’t recommend it

But if it is who you feel you are

You better reach for the stars

You better reach for the stars

Even if wind up in a carboard box in the street

I'll say "hi" while we meet


[Chorus]

I’m a mess

You know I’d be lying if I told you I was doing my best

At least I confess that I’m a mess

And I’d be lying if I told you I was going to do better

Probably never


[Outro]

Thank god I’ve lost my mind

My ma tells me all the time

Sister worrying about me

But in my mind I’m free

Maybe I’m just too ugly

Maybe I’m just 213

Baby girl is to love...
