Ed Sheeran – I'm A Mess lyrics

Ed Sheeran – I'm A Mess lyrics

Tempo sees Ed not feeling his best.

Ooh I'm a mess right now
Inside out
Searching for a sweet surrender
But this is not the end
I can't work it out
How going through the motions
Going through us
And oh I've known it for the longest time
And all my hope
All my words are all over written on the signs
But you're on my road walking me home
Home, home

See the flames inside my eyes
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love
Easy baby maybe I'm a liar
But for tonight I wanna fall in love
And put your faith in my stomach

I messed up this time
Late last night
Drinking to suppress devotion
With fingers intertwined
I can't shake this feeling now
We're going through the motions
Hoping you'd stop

And oh I've only caused you pain
You know but all of my words will always below
Of all the love you spoke
When you're on my road walking me home
Home, home, home

See the flames inside my eyes
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love
Easy baby maybe I'm a liar
But for tonight I wanna fall in love
Put your faith in my stomach

And for how long I love my lover
For how long I love my lover
And now, for how long, long I love my lover
Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover
Now now, for how long, long I love my lover
(I feel love)
For how long, long I love my lover
For how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now
For how long, long I love my lover
Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now
For how long I love my lover
Now now
For how long, long I love my lover

He's talking about how he doesn't want to fall in love, and wants his lover to just be playing him as well. But she starts to fall in love with him, and he starts to too but is too afraid of what will happen and tries to stop their romance. Thus leading to hurting her, and almost deepening his feelings for her along the way. And he wonders how long he will continue to love her, or how long he will stay because he is too afraid to truly show his love.

I love Ed Sheeran because I guess I get him and this song he doesn't want to fall in love with her but he can't help it and he doesn't want to mess up I feel like that every time I see my crush I feel like I can't have him cause I will mess up and Ed Sheeran just wants her but doesn't want to mess up and hurt her I mean I would feel the same if I didn't want to mess up and hurt him he loves her though and needs her but his brain says no and his heart says yes but he just can't his brain is overtaking his heart we all need someone to love and cherish but we always feel as though we will mess up and I get that I guess that's why Ed Sheeran wrote this song because he loves and cherishes her but can't have her because he doesn't want to mess up and break her heart he wants to give her everything but he feels he can't so he can't have her and its like he misses her and needs her other wise without her there would be no him and he would sece to exist.
