Messy Love - Matthew Strachan

Messy Love Lyrics

So you say it’s over
You say we’re through
And you would kill me if I spent another moment near you
Nothing left to plan for
No rainbow’s end
No perfumed letters or flowers left for me to send
Accept the finish
The end of our messy love
So you never fancied me
And like you say
My money justified our shitty love life anyway
A fumble here and there
Like awkward doves
Was just enough to pay for all the trappings you’d been dreaming of
A tidy Fortune
The end of our messy love

Oh it’s so tragic but it happens every day
Heats of stone converge and chisel all the love away
But you hated me and I hated you through everything and come what may
It’s bitter in the end
And it really is the end
Forget the anguish
Forget the pain
Forget the customary groping in the rain
If nothing else it serves
To illustrate my plea
The utter desperation that I have for us to agree
Let’s pull it all together
And put an end to our messy love
I gave you contacts
I gave you friends
But something else I gave you will kill you in the end
All my indiscretions
And numerous they be
Will see you left with some disease that no one else can see
My ugly testimonial
The end of our messy love
