Lyrics
She has her hair done in a bow
My makeup’s smudged from yesterday
She gets up early, puts down her phone
I’m logging hours like I’m getting paid
She’s perfect but she is alone
I’m crazy but my friends have stayed
She lives her life just for the show
I’m real and my home base is center stage
I’m a hot mess
And I know I’m missing every chance
To progress
I’m stuck on the loop I’m stuck on this tune
And I can’t seem to get it all right
I’d say I work for it but I don’t really try
My shoulder might be cold, at least it’s pretty, yeah
Everything is better when you’re messier
Messier
I’m not incompetent
I always have to defend
My choices, I’m confident
So what if you don’t like it I take it as a compliment
A little bit of everything all at once
Honestly* you’re no fun
If you’re not dying inside a touch
Stress gives me that adrenaline rush
Cause baby I’m a hot mess
And I know I’m missing every chance
To progress
I’m stuck on the loop I’m stuck on this tune
And I can’t seem to get it all right
I’d say I work for it but I don’t really try
My shoulder might be cold, at least it’s pretty, yeah
Everything is better when you’re messier
Hot mess
Hot mess
Hot mess
Hot mess
Heads will turn and eyes will roll
Hope that you’ve enjoyed the show
Heads will turn and I just know
They all want what they can’t have, no
Heads will turn and eyes will roll
Hope that you’ve enjoyed the show
Heads will turn and I just know
I just know
That I’m a hot mess
And I know I’m missing every chance
To progress
I’m stuck on the loop I’m stuck on this tune
And I can’t seem to get it all right
I’d say I work for it but I don’t really try
My shoulder might be cold, at least it’s pretty, yeah
Everything is better when you’re messier
I’m a hot mess
And I know I’m missing every chance
To progress
I’m stuck on the loop I’m stuck on this tune
And I can’t seem to get it all right
I’d say I work for it but I don’t really try
My shoulder might be cold, at least it’s pretty, yeah
Everything is better when you’re messier
