Verse 1:
I'm a mess with you
I'm an infant crying

On a raft of straw
Lost on the river in a raging storm
I'm a mess with you

I'm a thought in passing
I'm come and I go
To and fro

Sure as the summer's warm

Chorus:

But how I love you
How I hope you stay
Right here with me

And never go away
I would rather be
The tragedy

You have with me
Than perfect alone


Verse 2:
I'm a mess with you
I'm a broken mirror

Just scattered shards
Of a shattered heart
On a dirty floor

I'm a mess with you
A tornado inside
With no control

A broken soul
Forever more


Chorus 2:
But how I love you
How I hope you stay

Right here with me
And never go away
I would rather be

The tragedy
You have with me
Than perfect alone


How I love you
How I hope you stay

Right here with me
Every single day
I would rather be

The tragedy
You have with me
Than perfect man alone


Outro chanting X2:
No one knows how far I'm come

To be this place I am
I give forever my all
