Lyrics of 'Messy' by Carly Pearce

Cigarettes in the ashtray
Sittin' on the porch
Two empty bottles of cabernet
From the night before
Couple of texts I wish I hadn't sent
But at the time
Had a good buzz and it felt innocent

Movin' 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 wearin' it well, goin' through hell
So give yourself some grace
Movin' 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 goin' back to broken places

Movin' 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 wearin' it well, goin' through hell
So give yourself some grace
Movin' on is messy

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

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

Movin' 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 wearin' it well, goin' through hell
So give yourself some grace
Movin' on is messy (Everything's gonna be fine)
Movin' on is messy, yeah (Everybody ain't okay sometimes)
Movin' on is messy, yeah (Everything's gonna be fine)
Oh, it's messy
