Sweet, messy girl
Why'd you have to harden your shell?
Kind, you always try
So why'd you only feel pretty in disguise?
Smile lines at seventeen
Got no one to blame but you
And I don't think I know me like you do
I tried to be your saviour
Tell me I'm not your biggest failure
Cause walls, I built a few
Cause sometimes I think I'm ashamed of you
Cause I avoid introspection like it's holding out a knife
And I don't know why I'm putting up this fight
Sweet, messy girl
Why'd you have to harden your shell?
Sweet, messy girl
Why'd you have to, why'd you have to harden your shell?
Sweet, messy girl
Why'd you have to harden your shell?
