I always smile, but it doesn't reach my eyes

And I'm forgetful, but I promise that I try

It's a curse and a blessing

The way that I'm never resting

My mind's always moving much faster than my mouth

I know what to say, but it never comes out right

You know what I mean, right? (You know what I mean right now)

This party is too loud

The noise makes me stressed out

I know, oh, I know

I'm a mess

But it doesn't make me less than you

I'm naive

But still, I wish the best for you

And I may make mistakes that I shouldn't at my age

I know I'm not incompetent

But, damn, you make me feel that way

You make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Sometimes my own room is the safest that I feel

And nothing around me feels like it's real

I sit alone in a panic

There's always something I'm forgetting

I always remember the strangest things I've said

When I'm alone at night in my bed

And my head is a choir and my only desire's for silence (ssh)

And my thoughts are racing

The fear I keep chasing

I know, oh, I know

I'm a mess

But it doesn't make me less than you

I'm naive

But still, I wish the best for you

And I may make mistakes that I shouldn't at my age

I know I'm not incompetent

But, damn, you make me feel that way
