Mess It Up

## Music Video

In Mess It Up She looks at the past relationship from a different perspective. She talks about her mistakes and says that she made a wrong choice leaving the person she loved and that she didn’t fight more for their connection.

Gracie is incredibly vulnerable in all of her lyrics, but this one required a lot of maturity to say aloud that she is missing someone, admit that she regretted being passive and giving up too soon. In the bridge, Abrams admits to thinking about what if… ‘I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in’.

She explains the pain that accompanies an unexplored feeling. She says that if her chosen one gave her a second chance, they could fix what was wrong. But she knows it’s too late for that, he is happy and she has to move on.

The music video accompanying the song and directed by Matty Peacock is the best one so far. It is poetic, honest, and entirely metaphorical. Throughout the song, Gracie bakes a cake that she intends to give to her boyfriend, but every time she leaves the house, she’s ending up stumbling and dropping it to the ground.

## Lyrics

Opened two double doors

Typical, pretty sure I could grow up

Probably chemical

I took up walking to turn it all off

Doesn't feel bearable

Guess I thought when I left it would all stop

Hmm, it would all stop

Did I fall out of line when I called you?

When I told you "I'm fine", you were lied to

How could I think that all that I gave you was enough?

'Cause every time I get too close, I just go mess it up

Funny that (funny that) didn't work (didn't work)

I could be anywhere, I'm on your block

Cynical (cynical), terrible (terrible)

Kicking myself with my gut in a knot

'Cause I heard that you're (heard that you're) happier (happier)

Hope that you're sleeping well knowing I'm not

I'm doing too much, hmm

Did I fall (did I fall) out of line (out of line) when I called you?

When I told (when I told) you "I'm fine" (you "I'm fine")

You were lied to (I told you I'm lying)

How could I think that all that I gave you was enough?

'Cause every time I get too close, I just go mess it up

I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in

We can make it better, breaking every habit

Pull myself together, you could watch it happen

Let it happen, let it happen

I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in

We can make it better, breaking every habit

Pull myself together, you could watch it happen

Let it happen, let it happen

I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in

We can make it better, breaking every habit

Pull myself together, you could watch it happen

Let it happen, let it happen

I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in

We can make it better, breaking every habit

Pull myself together, you could watch it happen

Let it happen, let it happen
