I've made a mess of this life
Which has me wondering why
I get it so wrong
When I don't even try

I just wake up and do
Without a single clue
This being about the only thing
That I follow through

I've looked forward and back
Double checked all the facts
I've made a mess of this life
Which has me smack-dab where I'm at

I've made a mess of this life
Without once thinking twice
If I could do it again
I'm sure again I would find

That every time
With no reason nor rhyme
Try as I might with all of my might
I'd make a mess of this life
