Bilingual
Packed your bags, moved to a new state
New I.D. new hair, new face
Your old true colors shine dark in a new place
And maybe that's why my friends said to stay away
Cause someone like me
Don't need no one like you
Messin' around with a boy named Johnny Gates
He taught you guitar, you're still not that great
Well you're great at guitar, but those hearts you play
Burns out like a match, yet shine like the milky way
Well someone like me
Don't need no one like you
But I'd like to see, just what I could be
With or without you
Without you I am fine, without you I am great, without you I'm best
Without you is enough for me to feel in love, there's no second guess
Cause you can change your mind any other night, lay your head to rest
Without you is enough for me to feel in love, and with you I'm a mess
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
When we're together we're worse than the weather today
Then tomorrow comes a new storm waits
So I'll fly north, maybe fly out to L.A.
I'll just sit in the sun, when I'm done write a screenplay
Someone like me
Don't need no one like you
But I'd like to see, just what I could be
With or without you
Without you I am fine, without you I am great, without you I'm best
Without you is enough for me to feel in love, there's no second guess
Cause you can change your mind any other night, lay your head to rest
Without you is enough for me to feel in love, and with you I'm a mess
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
Still don't know why you call me Johnny Gates
It's maybe because I play those games you play, play
Without you I am fine, without you I am great, without you I'm best
Without you is enough for me to feel in love, there's no second guess
Cause you can change your mind any other night, lay your head to rest
Without you is enough for me to feel in love, but with you I'm a mess
It's enough, it's enough
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
