lyrics

You were a mess when I left you in the kitchen
You were a mess when you were laying on the floor
You were a mess when I made you pack your bags
And you were a mess when I kicked you out the door

And you know my vision is clearer
But you go on thinking I'm so mean
You were a mess, fogging up my mirror
Leave me alone 'cause I'm gettin' clean

You were a mess when you made the call
You were a mess when you asked me why
You were a mess when you told me you still loved me
And you were a mess when I said goodbye

And you know my vision is clearer
But you go on thinking I'm so mean
You were a mess, fogging up my mirror
Leave me alone 'cause I'm gettin' clean

Take a mental note, baby
I don't want you around
I've already moved on and now that you're gone
It's the sweetest silence I've found

You were a mess holding on to every corner
You were a mess making excuses for yourself
You were a mess trying so hard to stay in my life
You were a mess, now you go get your own help

And you know my vision is clearer
But you go on thinking I'm so mean
You were a mess, and you were fogging up my mirror
Leave me alone 'cause I'm gettin' clean

Leave me alone 'cause I'm gettin' clean
