A Fine Mess

Kate Voegele A Fine Mess Lyrics
1.Inside Out

In fairness, I was an easy sell
Though I'm embarrassed to admit it to myself
And the worst part is you know it all too well
So don't take advantage of my transparent shell, no

Though I think you know what I mean
Impossible as it may seem
And I think it's easy to see

I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out

I'm in the corner of a street cafe
My heart is warmer since I heard from you today
Like a shallow creek I am gleaming
No chance of keeping any secrets
Have I lost enough security

I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out

I try to hide it
I can't deny it
Now I'm inside out
You say you love me
It's all or nothing
Now I'm inside out

I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah, I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I'm think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your riptide
Now I'm inside out


2.99 Times

So, you see
You've got me back again for more
And it seems
Your song is in my head
This is war
Mystery, how I could feel you breathe me
I was sure you would keep
Every promise, you would keep
Every word

Well,
I try to put your stories in line
But nothing adds up right

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you werent lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
Im getting out tonight
And you're not invited

Its a shame
That you left me hanging like you did
It was brave
But it was much more foolish
Dont you think? (dont you think?)
Cause you know I wont be satisfied
Until you realize

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you werent lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
Im getting out tonight
And you're not invited

These things are oh, all so typical
These things are unforgivable
I'm gone and you're invisible now Oh..
Don't let me catch you following
Don't ask, cause I'm not offering
You've caused enough of my suffering, oh

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you werent lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
Im getting out tonight

For every 99 times
You looked me in the eye,
You looked me in the eye
And swore you werent lying
Well, I was so blind
I never saw the signs
Im getting out tonight
And you're not invited


3.Who You Are Without Me

Put me up on a pedestal
I've got nowhere to go but down
You expect the impossible
And it's too much to carry around

Well you tell me I'm beautiful
It feels empty and I don't know why
But it seems that you're certainly
Something I'm not gonna find

I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me

Wide awake, lying next to you
Being careful to get the words right
See it hurts me tell you this
But it kills me you keep it inside

And I'm at one with the present tense
Making plans is overrated to me
And I don't speak in guarantees
Or at least not the kind that you need

I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me

Well I still believe in happy endings
But this just isn't where I wanna spend mine
I'll be leaving now, I've said it
Oh

I'm not your anchor, so don't hold on
I'm not the answer, you've got me wrong
I'm not your savior, save your energy
And find out who you are

I'm not a mirror, looks inside yourself
I'm not a hero, you know too well
I'm not your savior, save your energy
To find out who you are
Yeah, who you are without me
Who you are without me yeah
Oh-oh-oh


4.Angel

I've said it once and I'll say it again.
I've got something hanging over my head.
I was laying on your shoulder
Perfectly content.
Until you told me all over again.

I aint got no sob story to write.
But just like everyone else I'm living this life.
And you don't need to win me over, and there
Aint no other side.
To shuffle me from I belong where I decide.
But you say...

We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie. Uh oh oh oh.

Well I suppose you think I'm so flattered to hear
That I'm the whisper conscience in your ear. yeah
And that's exactly the reason that I'll never fit in here
Well nothing's ever that blackand white, my dear.
Cuz you say...

We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie. Uh oh oh oh.
I'm not your angel darling.
I'm not your angel darling.
I am never gonna be.
I'm not your angel darling.
I'm not your angel darling.
I am never gonna be.

We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie. Uh oh

We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie. Uh oh.
We don't mess around.
You've got no freedom to come down.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Oh no, we don't mess around.
You're meant to be among the clouds cause you're an angel.
But that's a lie.
And I'm never gonna be


5.Sweet Silver Lining

I'm going home
Down hearted and hoping
I'm close to some new beginning
I know
There's a reason for everything
That comes and goes

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
And I maybe weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining

Most days I try my best
To put on a brave face
But inside my bones are cold
And my heart breaks
But all the while
Something's keeping me safe
And alive

But so many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
And maybe weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining

And I won't give up like this
I will be given strength
Now that I've found it
Nothing can take that away

So many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
And I maybe weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing

So many people are looking to me
To be strong and to fight
But I'm just surviving
And maybe weak but I'm never defeated
And I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining

Ohh sweet silver lining ohh ohhh oh


6.Playing With My Heart

A little tough love never hurt nobody
Never saw this coming inside of me
I won't be ignored baby, sure let's talk it out
It wasn't too hard to see

You think you got me right where you want me
You think you've got the whole story
But I think that a proper fair warning
Might've served you well
So I'm here to tell you

It's not too late
To do yourself a favor
And walk away
Though I know that's never been your nature
By the way
You put yourself in danger cause you're
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart

Every good girl's got a real good reason
To believe in breaking all the rules sometimes
I'm that girl, baby you're that reason
And you see, it's caused me to cross the line

You lie, but I'm a pretty good liar
You chose a game I can play better
You're bright, oh but baby I'm clever
So you might as well
Let me tell you

It's not too late
To do yourself a favor
And walk away
Though I know that's never been your nature
By the way
You put yourself in danger cause you're
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart

For heaven's sakes
What are you thinking, baby?
You won't catch what you've been chasing
Trust me when I say I'll keep you running
But I'm not coming, no I won't come around

It's not too late
To do yourself a favor
And walk away
Though I know that's never been your nature
By the way
You put yourself in danger cause you're
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart


7.Manhattan from the Sky

Baby
What are you doing today
what are you doing later
I don't know my way through a maze of gray skyscrapers
But I'm willing to learn

If you want me to I'll stay just where I am
But I promise just to follow when I land
And you can take my word for that

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.

Daises
Once upon an old daydream, that's what you gave me
Out on the corner of Broadway and 48th street, on a rainy
afternoon
(Well) I could start discovering your world
And I would make a damn good city girl
Things would start to bloom, I'm sure

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.

I know you want me to see don't lie to me
So why you gotta go be so shy to me?
I ain't buying the false anxiety let your fortress fall
What's it gonna take to get you there?
If fear was money you'd be a millionaire
Or all alone in a leather swivel chair counting stacks of good

Oh oh
You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around ohhh

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.
Oh ohh ohh oh


8.Talkin Smooth


9.Lift Me Up

This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle I've seen high and I've seen low
So loud, the voices of all my doubts
Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town

Even so, I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me, yeah

So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Somewhere, every body starts there
I'm counting on a small prayer,
Lost in a nightmare
But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear
The struggle through the long years
It taught me to outrun my fears
Everything worth having, oh
Comes with trials worth withstanding

So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Oh, Lift me up
Down and out is overrated
And I need to be elevated
Looking up is not enough
No, I would rather rise above

So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun
Oh, oh, oh, just begun
Lift me up, yeah, oh, oh, oh, yeah, now
Oh, oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
