Mess Lyrics by Eleri Ward

Friction

2021

I think I just made things complicated
For nobody else other than myself
I know that it's wrong but that's why I want it
I'd rather love and be lost than sit on the shelf

I like the way it feels when you do me wrong and walk away
I like the way it feels when I should go but I wanna stay
I like the way it feels when you're slippin' off my dress
I like the way it feels when I'm a mess

You call me too late but I'm comin' over
Though I know you're no good, you feel good to me
I wish I could say that I wasn't sober
But I'm well aware of the injury

I like the way it feels when you do me wrong and walk away
I like the way it feels whеn I should go but I wanna stay
I like the way it feels when you'rе slippin' off my dress
I like the way it feels when I'm a mess

Been so long since I felt anything (Oh, oh)
And you can't give me the things that I need (Oh, oh)
I wanna think you can change because of me (Oh, oh)
So I keep lying to myself and let it bleed

I'd rather be messed up than bored so…
I like the way it feels when you do me wrong and walk away
I like the way it feels when I should go but I wanna stay
I like the way it feels when you're slippin' off my dress
I like the way it feels when I'm a mess

And I'm a mess
I like the way it feels
