The Mess

Story Behind The Song

Fathers--you leave a bit footprint on your daughters. If you cheat, you make a mess. Then your daughters apply what they know...and can make a mess out of themselves, too. Don't cheat, it makes a mess.

My love left me and slept with other men, then came back to me. I thought I could get over it...but I didn't, and don't, know how to get it out of my mind. Everywhere I went I know they'd been--and she liked it, too. It makes my gut turn over just to w

Where were you when I needed you
When the night became to cold to keep warm alone
You were out there, covered under his sheets
And sprinkled with his cologne

And now you've come back and you've got nothing left
You want me (to be your drug) to clean you up when you make a mess
You wish that I had disappeared when you started to confess
That you had a taste along with the touch

And you want me to believe that it didn't mean that much

Tell the the truth! Play your cards!
You ride the fence and play in both yards!
Second time add: (By splitting hairs, you won't get far
You've built two factions that war inside your heart)

I can't heal you! I can't heal you!

Maybe I have lost touch
The man I used to be could choose not to see such things
But baby you have brought too much

You've got broken fingers holding broken rings
I can't heal you! I can't heal you!
