Mike Posner - A Perfect Mess

so what's a young man to do
had a million in the bank when i turned 22, alright
am i the same me
doing impressions of myself so people say it hasn't changed me
if only that were true now
but ain't a artist in the game that can do what i do, ow
i ain't your little secret no more
but listen real close, and i give you one more
see all of these american dreams that i find myself living out
mixed with all of these man-made woman that i find myself digging out
they tell me all day long to get a bodyguard to help myself get around

but i ain't ever been afraid of other people getting inside
i'm more afraid of what i got on the inside, getting out

what was left, a perfect mess
did we forget, a perfect mess
what was left, a perfect mess
did we forget

been a while since 09
remember when i told you it was a matter of time
did you believed me
did it take this long
i told sean if i ever got on, that i'd never ever buy a chain with ice
and i didn't
before this all changed my life, from dreams in the dorm room
to doing big things in the boardroom

see all of these non-american bottles that i find myself sipping out
mixed with all of the things i'm a have to relearn and one day live without
mixed with all of the things inside my head that i can't figure out

but i ain't ever been afraid of other people seeing inside
i'm more afraid of what i got on the inside, getting out

what was left, a perfect mess
did we forget, a perfect mess
what was left, a perfect mess
did we forget
