  • I was more forgiving in the beginning
    You know, you never let the good ones go
    Holding onto you like rope
    Talking to my memories like they would remember me
    Oh, the good ones never get old
    The rest of them, I let go

    Ooh, when did you stop making sense?
    "You're slurring your words again", he said
    Strung out on the bed, I can't handle this (handle this, handle this)

    Ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions
    Ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions
    You're a lightweight, gotta get your head straight
    Hellbent on a mistake, mistake
    And ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions

    It's a little bit funny how
    It all makes sense in the here and now
    Oh, we were just boys back then
    Hanging on by a thread
    I didn't know how to tell you
    What it was I had been going through
    Oh, it's better left unsaid
    It's been weighing me down since then

    Ooh, when did you stop making sense?
    "You're slurring your words again", he said
    Strung out on the bed, I can't handle this (handle this, handle this)

    Ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions
    Ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions

    So, tell me, tell me how your night went
    Guess you lost your license, did they like your accent?
    Ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions
    Mixed emotions

    I'm dancing on a ceiling (the ceiling, the ceiling)
    But I just lost all feeling (feeling, feeling)
    It's history repeating (repeating, repeating)
    I'm not mind reading

    I'm dancing on a ceiling (I'm not)
    Like I just lost all feeling (I'm not)
    It's history repeating, listening (I'm not)

    Face me, tell me how I'm complex, you are codependent
    Pretend to be affected, life without you isn't sweet
    Face me, tell me how I'm complex, you are codependent
    Pretend to be affected, life without you isn't sweet, isn't sweet

    Ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions
    Ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions
    You're a lightweight, gotta get your head straight
    Hellbent on a mistake, mistake
    And ooh, I've got mixed, mixed emotions
