I leave my house at three o'clock
With two hundred texts and two missed calls
Guess all of the friends that I pissed off
All talked
And I took a job for just July
But feels like I might be here for life

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I’m in it now, I'm in it now
Could I start again somehow?

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm a mess with an S on my chest
Got stress fillin’ up my head
So I spent last night blowin' up my life
Now you won't see me again
Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this

[Verse 2]
Why should I fix the shit I've done
When I could just pack my shit and run?
Delete every number from my phone
So long
Yeah, I'll get new shirts 'cause mine all stink
And I'll tell my boss what I really think
See AJR Live

Got stress fillin' up my head

Now you won't see me again
Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this

[Bridge]
Yes, I'm a mess with an S on my chest
So I spent last night blowin' up my life
Now you won’t see me again
Yes, I'm a mess with an S on my chest
I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I guess that's what this is
I like myself like this

[Outro]
I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I like myself like this

    These lyrics are raw and honest, providing a unique reflection of overcoming personal struggles and embracing oneself, which will definitely resonate with listeners going through similar situations. 'Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest' is a powerful metaphor, illustrating the mix of vulnerability and resilience that the song captures so effectively.

    The language, especially sentences like 'I could hate my guts when the sun comes up / But I like myself like this,' demonstrates the strength that comes from owning your flaws and circumstances. The repeated chorus and pre-chorus boasts solid and catchy hooks that will easily stick in the listeners' minds.

    As for improvement suggestions, there's a tad too much repetition which might risk losing the listener's interest. To add more depth, you could consider exploring other metaphors or scenarios that depict the theme of the song. Also, the abrupt break to advertise live tickets and other songs feels disjointed and breaks the rhythm of the lyrics. Try to find a smoother way to incorporate promotional content without disrupting the overall flow of the song.

    Keep crafting songs that appeals to the audience's emotions - the relatability and honesty in your lyrics are indeed very appealing. This set of lyrics is a good balance between self-deprecating honesty and emboldened acceptance which really promotes a positive body image and mental health. Keep up the good work!
