Messed Up

Wrote this one a month ago. Starting to demo it for the new record maybe... (below)

Messed Up
copyright 2008 john common music

I thought i knew
Everything there was to know
About myself
I didn't need to grow anymore
I had it all figured out
But then you walked in
Aww girl…
You messed me up again

You have this way
Of making things so clear
And it can hurt
But when it hurts, you're here
Hanging tough, you don't run
When i take one on the chin
Aww girl…
You messed me up again

Messed up
Broke down
But open
Ready
And waiting
For something
Maybe good…
Would it be such a sin?
Girl, you messed me up again

We never choose
The time or place we let go
It just shows up
And then the next thing you know
You're crying out, scared to death
Wondering how it's gonna end
Aww girl…
You messed me up again

Messed up
Broke down
But open
Ready
And waiting
For something
Maybe good…
Would it be such a sin?
Girl, you messed me up again

Here's a very rough demo:

I love that you are able to post your songs here too.

So beautiful and painful, hopeful and wrenching. Open. I like it
