Messes - David Bazan

You used to keep me a secret

That nobody else could know

Made me feel so alone

But I’ll be damned if I let it show

But now it’s like you hardly know me

So I’ve been busy minding my own

But I’m finding your finger prints

In some places they don’t belong

Be careful 'cause the lights come on

Without a warning

People seem so confused

When they take home what they earn

He left a dark place behind him

And hell was just a bottle away

But heaven’s what he told himself

At the end of a long day

Surprised him when she came home early

Caught him with his hand in the jar

He tried to protest

But he was already done for

Messes in the dark make headlines every morning

Everyone makes mistakes

Like it’s the only way we learn

Be careful 'cause the lights come on

Without a warning

People seem so confused

When they’re caught with some bullshit

Messes in the dark make headlines every morning

Everyone makes mistakes

Like it’s the only way we learn
