Am a mess

*Verse 1*

Am a mess, without your love

My heart is breaking, sent from above

Every moment, feels like a test

Without you, I'm lost, and I'm possessed

*Verse 2*

I try to move on, but I'm stuck in the past

Memories of you, they forever last

Every step I take, feels like a lie

Without you, I'm not myself, I'm not alive

*Chorus*

Am a mess, my love, without you

My heart is breaking, my soul is blue

In your arms, is where I want to be

Am a mess, my love, come back to me

*Bridge*

Maybe someday, I'll find my way

Heal my heart, and love again someday

But for now, I'm stuck in this pain

Longing for your love, rain

*Chorus*

Am a mess, my love, without you

My heart is breaking, my soul is blue

In your arms, is where I want to be

Am a mess, my love, come back to me

*Outro*

I'll keep on waiting, for the day you'll return

My heart beats for you, my love, my concern

In your love, I'll find my peaceful nest

With you, my love, I'm forever blessed.
