Lyrics The Softies

The Softies

An Awful Mess

somewhere beneath her taffeta dress

I think I see a heart shaped scar

somewhere inside her tiny wave

I think I see a tiny star

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down

into an awful mess if you loved her any less

she would go

I know that she's done this before

with someone else, another place

that must have been the last time

that I saw a smile on her face

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down

into an awful mess if you loved her any less

she would go

if you run away then she'll go there too

she'll be with you 'till the end of the world

and beyond

somewhere beneath her taffeta dress

I think I see a heart shaped scar

somewhere inside her tiny wave

I think I see a tiny star

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down

she's saving it up, it's pulling her down

into an awful mess if you loved her any less

she would go
