The Mess We Make - Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Look at the mess we make

Locking ourselves away

On so many beautiful days

How can I separate

The songs from the mistakes

I know

Forgotten birthdays

I didn’t call

I am working on my balance

As I’m climbing up the walls

People say to me

«You're living in a dream»

I never know the answer

I don’t know what you mean

Let me down and let me be

Baby, can’t you see?

We’ve got to love ourselves before

We can love anybody else

Look at we’ve sacrificed

Trying to realise

Our vision of paradise

But even if we’re running blind

At least we can say we tried

To see all the signals and the signs

That flash up in the night

People say to me

«You're living in a dream»

I never know the answer

I don’t know what you mean

Let me down and let me be

Baby, can’t you see?

We’ve got to love ourselves before

We can love anybody else

Luckily, clarity

Finally is coming to me

Slowly, I can see
