You tell me all of the ways that I can make you happy
I roll my eyes, we do our back and forth
'Cause I'm not ready to be someone else
And it gets a little tiring trying to dance around the fact
That I'm not ready to think of anyone but myself

It's hard to watch you want to understand
Hard to see myself for what I am

Born to be a mess
Leave my shoes lying in the hall
Starting a fight just to be like some samurai
And you are my little doll
And, oh, believe me I will try
And I will be there, in time

They gave me an hour to take a pill
To break inside a glass
And they said it would go down best if I drank it fast
Still I can't stand to be alone
No, I can't seem to stand at all
And I can't always have you to lean on

Hard to watch you want to understand
Hard to see myself for what I am

Born to be a mess
Leave my shoes lying in the hall
Starting a fight just to be like some samurai
And you are my little doll
And, oh, believe me I will try
And I will be there, in time

Stolen island, stalwart in your corner
Always have been, always will be
Everytime I look in the mirror
Something's up with me

I'm such a mess
Leave my shoes lying in the hall
Start to fight, but you were right
You're always right
And you are my little doll
And, oh, believe me I will try
And I will be there, in time

Some samurai
Some samurai
Ooooh, samurai
Some samurai
So tell me all the ways that I can make you happy again
