Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Cleanse my heart and all that you define
Then tear me down to see how high I'll climb
Through your eyes you've showed me how to see
But love has blinded all that I believe
[Chorus 1]
Oh, this lovely mess
I'll hold you up high above the rest
Oh, this lovely mess
Put your soul out on the line and your heart will find
That we're flawed by design
So try your best to enjoy your lovely mess
[Verse 2]
Closest friends will quickly turn to rivals
When shattered love is longing for survival
Let's make our choice on how we wanna do this
'Cause pride is for the happy or the foolish
[Chorus 2]
Oh, this lovely mess
I'll hold you up high above the rest
Oh, this lovely mess
Put your soul out on the line and your heart will find
That we're flawed by design
So try your best to enjoy your lovely mess
[Bridge]
Narrow minds will cloud up what is real
But opened hearts will find a way to heal
So take these wounds and scars of yours and mine
And find a way to put the past behind
The future of our souls are intertwined
[Chorus 3]
Oh, this lovely mess
I'll hold you up high above the rest
Oh, this lovely mess
Put your soul out on the line and your heart will find
That we're flawed by design
So try your best to enjoy your lovely mess
Oooooh
Oooooh
