"Messy" Songtext
von Carly Pearce

Cigarettes in the ashtray
Sitting on the porch
Two empty bottles of Cabernet
From the night before
A couple of texts I wish I hadn′t sent
But at the time
Had a good buzz, and it felt innocent

Moving on is messy
It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it′s okay
Whatever it takes these days
'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy
And there ain′t no wearing it well, going through hell
So give yourself some grace
Moving on is messy


Little black dress in the bathroom
From last Friday night
Thought I was ready, it was too soon
God, I wasn′t right
Mascara stains on pillowcases
Can't stop my mind
From going back to broken places

Moving on is messy
It ain′t always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay
Whatever it takes these days
′Cause heartbreak isn't sexy
And there ain′t no wearing it well, going through hell
So give yourself some grace
Moving on is messy

Everything's gonna be fine
Everybody ain't okay sometimes

You′re fine ′til you're falling apart
Over it, back to the start
It ain′t on your mind 'til you′re replaying every memory

Moving on is messy
It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it′s okay
Whatever it takes these days
'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy
And there ain′t no wearing it well, going through hell
So give yourself some grace


Moving on is messy (everything′s gonna be fine)
Moving on is messy (everybody ain't okay sometimes)
Moving on is messy (everything′s gonna be fine)
Oh, it's messy
