I'm in love with the thought of you But a thought's not enough to hold onto Oh, the distance just made a mess And the warmest embrace couldn't fix it Now I'm helpless when I'm alone I can't be in my room at all And the truth is that I'm a mess Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you I'm in love with the way it was When you had faith that we had a purpose Oh, I dreamed and you dreamed with me Of the life that could never deserve us Now I'm helpless when I'm alone Oh, this home's not a home at all And the truth is that I'm a mess Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you I guess you never know what the future holds Just two weeks ago, we were happy, maybe it was just me I never would have guessed how this all regressed How you loved me less, til the words came on that morning Left my heart on a string in your doorway And the truth is that I'm a mess Oh, the truth is that I'm a mess without you
