## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Avril Lavigne]

Starin' at the pavement alone

Wishin' I was on my way home to you

All the shops in London are closed

And I don't know where to go from here

No, I don't know where to go from here

[Chorus: Both, *Avril Lavigne*]

*But I know* I'm a mess, I'm a mess

When we're not together

Such a wreck, such a wreck

I hope it's not forever

Will I see you again?

I wish it was me and you 'til the end

But I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess

I know *I'm a mess, I'm a mess*

[Verse 2: YUNGBLUD, *Both*]

It hasn't been the same since that night (Oh)

I wish I said I loved you just one more time (One more time)

*I tried to figure out how to make it right*

*But I don't know where to go from here*

*No, I don't know where to go from here*

[Chorus: Both, *YUNGBLUD*]

But I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess

When we're not together

Such a wreck, such a wreck

I hope it's not forever

Will I see you again? (*See you again*)

I wish it was me and you 'til the end

But I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess

I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess

[Bridge: Both, *YUNGBLUD*]

*Oh*, 'cause I know that I have my issues

The less we talk, the more I miss you

I die just a little, die just a little

I'm slippin' closer to the edge

I hear your voice, it's in my head

But you're gone again, gone again

[Chorus: Both, *Avril Lavigne*, **YUNGBLUD**]

*I'm a mess, I'm a mess*

When we're not together

Such a wreck, such a wreck

I hope it's not forever

Will I see you again? (**See you again**)

I wish it was me and you 'til the end

'Cause I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess

I know *I'm a mess, I'm a mess*
