I'm just a messed-up girl in a messed-up world,
Tryna get by, workin' hard in a
Messed-up job with a messed-up boss,
Prayin' for a raise, just beggin' "please,"
But all I hear is that same ol' "no."

I'm just a messed-up girl in a messed-up world,
Drinkin' my pain till it's all I know,
But it never takes the hurt away,
In this messed-up life, where I'm stuck on replay.

Cops got me clocked at a hundred and two,
Red and blue lights flashin' through,
Now I'm cuffed in the back, DUI,
And my bruised-up face tells no lies.

I'm just a messed-up girl in a messed-up world,
Doped on fire and gasoline,
Prayin' tomorrow might set me free,
But these walls close in endlessly.

Death's knockin', and I’m on my knees,
Beggin' through broken teeth,
"I don’t wanna be this messed-up girl,
Trapped in a messed-up swirl."

Give me a chance, give me a sign,
To follow a light that ain't so blind,
Get away from all the messed-up things,
That held me down and clipped my wings.

I was a messed-up girl in a messed-up world,
But now I fight to break the curse,
I’m a **** fine girl, in a **** fine place,
And I'll live my life, or at least I'll try.
