lyrics

I got a window seat to it all
Watching your latest legendary fall
Another scar left on the ground
Another jumbo jet going down

You're a god-forsaken mess
But I love you nonetheless

I'm not here to protect and serve
All the things you think you deserve
Let me go down your list
Let me show you what you missed

You're a god-forsaken mess
But I love you nonetheless

While you're getting it off your chest
I'll try to remember feeling more blessed
I'm taking my best shot at making the best
And shaking off the rest

You're a god-forsaken mess
But I love you nonetheless

You know you're impossible to ignore
When you throw your tantrum on the floor
I give you every part of myself
I can't give you anything else

You're a god-forsaken mess
But I love you nonetheless
