I Messed Up
by Skiddelz

Verse 1
I messed up—yeah, I’ll own every bit of the blame
Tried to wear a mask, now I’m drownin’ in shame
I told myself lies just to sleep through the night
But now they’re stackin’ up and I’m losin’ the fight
Took shortcuts, thought I’d outsmart the pain
But every lie I told just added weight to the chain
Made promises with my fingers crossed behind my back
Now I’m starin’ at the ruins of the life that I cracked
I shut out the ones who were fightin' for me
Built up these walls thinkin’ that would set me free
Played tough, actеd cold, like I didn’t need love
But now I’m talkin’ to the ghosts that I pushеd out of touch

Chorus
Yeah, I messed up, man, I’ve been slippin’ too far
Tryna fly high, now I’m crashin’ this car
I thought I was solid, but I’m breakin’ apart
Now I’m just a silhouette lost in the dark
I messed up, and the damage runs deep
Burned every bridge that was tryin’ to keep
Me from fallin’—but I threw the match
Now I’m sittin’ in the smoke, just relivin’ the past

Verse 2
I messed up, it’s a truth I can’t shake
Now I’m tryna stitch up what I chose to break
All the people I loved? They ain’t around no more
And I’m left facin’ echoes behind every door
I reached out too late, with nothin’ to give
Kept pushin’ away when they begged me to live
I was so wrapped up in my pride and pain
I forgot how to speak without hidin’ the strain
Now the mirror don’t blink, it just stares me down
Like "this is who you are when no one’s around."
I keep beggin’ for peace but all I get is a war
I messed up, man, I ain’t who I was before

Chorus
Yeah, I messed up, man, I’ve been slippin’ too far
Tryna fly high, now I’m crashin’ this car
I thought I was solid, but I’m breakin’ apart
Now I’m just a silhouette lost in the dark
I messed up, and the damage runs deep
Burned every bridge that was tryin’ to keep
Me from fallin’—but I threw the match
Now I’m sittin’ in the smoke, just relivin’ the past

 (Outro)
I messed up
Yeah, I messed up
Tryna glue back the pieces, but they don’t fit right
Every move I make just fades into night
I messed up, man…
And maybe this is what I deserve
