Take Your Mess Lyrics

I see you standing there with that look on your face

Like you're handing out reasons for this wreck of a place

We both know the drill, seen this scene before

Your bags by the bed, one foot out the door

You thought I'd be begging, thought I'd fall apart

But I'm just laughing, I'm just getting a start

Ain't nothing here left worth a damn to me

So go on, baby, go on and leave

Take your mess, take your lies

Take all those wasted alibis

You thought you had me, thought I'd bend

But I'm better off at the end

Yeah, take your mess, take your lies

I'm done with you tonight

Go tell your stories, to whoever you please

I'm not losing sleep, I'm feeling free

I got my own shoes, I'll walk my own line

You're not the one writing my rhyme

You thought you'd cut deep, thought you'd leave a scar

But I'm already gone, already too far

There's the door, babe, don't drag your feet

You're just one less thing I don't need

Take your mess, take your lies

Take all those wasted alibis

You thought you had me, thought I'd bend

But I'm better off at the end

Yeah, take your mess, take your lies

I'm done with you tonight

You walk in beauty, but babe, it's a trap

A kiss on the lips, a knife in the back

Go pull them in, wrap 'em tight

I'm just glad I got out alive tonight

Take your mess, take your lies

Take all those wasted alibis

You thought you had me, thought I'd bend

But I'm better off at the end

Yeah, take your mess, take your lies

I'm done with you tonight

Take your mess and walk away

Ain't nothing here to make me stay

You had your shot, you missed your line

Now I'm taking back what's mine

Take your mess, take your lies

Take all those wasted alibis

You thought you had me, thought I'd bend

But I'm better off at the end

Yeah, take your mess, take your lies

I'm done with you tonight

Take your mess and walk away

Ain't nothing here to make me stay

You had your shot, you missed your line

Now I'm taking back what's mine
