lyrics

The Mess (That Used To Be Me)

One more cigarette, one more song
One more night as dark as it is long
One more shot of whiskey, another glass of beer
Thinking 'bout the used-to-be days that you were here
Move along, there's nothing to see
It's just the mess that used to be me

I put another quarter in that old jukebox
Just to hear your favorite song
Tell that girl at the end of the bar
I'll cut her if she tries to sing along
Turn away, there's nothing to see
It's just the mess that used to be me

The set of your jaw, the sound of your laugh
I'm staring at this faded photograph
Things that I said, I'm shot through with misgiving
This lonely life, this ain't living

One more moon, one more star
One more hour of wondering where you are
One thing I know - you're not coming back
Shut it down, mop it up, fade to black
Turn away, there's nothing nothing to see
It's just the mess that used to be me

Move along, goodnight and goodbye
There's nothing wrong - there's just something in my eye
It's none of your business there's nothing to see
It's just the mess that used to be me.

(c) jill rogers, Tears For Ink/BMI
