Pretty mess with a pretty voice Humming in my ear Drowning out the world's noise Such a pretty one, such a mixed up one I once was lost then I was found I wanna make things better the second time around What a precious sound Hearing the words a second time around And how will you understand? As if I would back then How will they understand that's who I was, not who I am? And I'm not a perfect soul and I'll fall again, I know I must pull myself together, this is a brand new day Pull myself away from my mistakes Pull myself together, it's time to let the waves Take me, pull me away And I know for you this must be hard Giving me a second start And I know I'm a little bit late But please don't hate me, hate me Don't hate, hate me Chain of lies, chain of events The keys are in your reach but not in your hands You don't have to be a quote good unquote Person to be let free I'm thinking How will you understand? As if I would back then How will they understand that's who I was not who I am? And I'm not a perfect soul and I'll fall again, I know but oh I must pull myself together, this is a brand new day Pull myself away from my mistakes Pull myself together, it's time to let the waves Just take me, pull me away And I know for you this must be hard Giving me a second start And I know I'm a little bit late But please don't hate me, hate me Don't hate, hate me So pull myself together, this is a brand new day Pull myself away from my mistakes Pull myself together, it's time to let the waves Just take me, pull me away And I know for you this must be hard Giving me a second start And I know I'm a little bit late But please don't hate me, hate me Don't hate, hate me The crazy new you You're running for Is right here where you're at
