The Mess I Made Lyrics by Defsharp

2024

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
When we first met, I'd hoped you might clean up the mess I made
And with some time and rubbing alcohol
The stains on me might fade
But nothing ever washes out the way you want it to my dear
No, nothin' ever seems to disappear
You were my shell
You were my shell

[Chorus]
I never itemized the value of what lay between
The sunset and the sunrise and the sea
And although the years will changе us
The sunshine won't fade us
You'll always bе a treasure to me

[Verse 2]
And as the years went on
I finally saw a glimmer in my grime
And the both of us had dreams of staying spotless all the time
But rubbish likes to pile up in corners you can't see
And housekeeping's only for the bourgeoisie
You broke my shell
You broke my shell

[Chorus]
I never itemized the value of what lay between
The sunset and the sunrise and the sea
And although the years will change us
The sunshine won't fade us
You'll always be a treasure to me

[Outro]
And when we parted ways
I knew somehow we'd both turn out okay
And these smudges won't get vacuumed up
But scrubbed out day by day
And the linens might not get as bright as they promised on TV
But elbow grease and lovin' eyes are free
You were my shell
You were my shell
