You're in your room and you're bored. Sadie, your girlfriend went out, but she didn't tell you where. To kill time you thought you'd continue the Orange is the New Black series. You went down to the living room and started it up but soon got distracted. You ignored the show and started watching videos on your phone. You were watching a guitar video that made you want to play guitar. You ran up to your room and grabbed your guitar. You sat down on the bed, put the guitar in your lap and started playing.
At first you were just trying out random chords but then you remembered a song you've been listening to a lot lately.
I'm a Mess by Avril Lavgine with YUNGBLUD.
You held down the chords and started playing.
Staring at the pavement alone
Wishing that I was on my way home to you
All the shops in London are closed
And I don't know where to go from here
No, I don't know where to go from here
But I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess
When we're not together
Such a wreck, such a wreck
I hope it's not forever
Will I see you again?
I wish it was me and you 'til the end
But I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess
I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess
It hasn't been the same since that night
I wish I said "I love you" just one more time
I tried to figure out how to make it right
But I don't know where to go from here
No, I don't know where to go from here
But I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess
When we're not together
Such a wreck, such a wreck
I hope it's not forever
Will I see you again? (See you again)
I wish it was me and you 'til the end
But I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess
I know I'm a mess, I'm a mess
Oh, 'cause I know that I have my issues
The less we talk, the more I miss you
I die just a little, die just a little
I'm slipping closer to the edge
I hear your voice, it's in my head
But you're gone again, gone again
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
When we're not together
Such a wreck, such a wreck
I hope it's not forever
Will I see you again? (See you again)
I wish it was me and you 'til the end
'Cause I know I'm a mess, i'm a mess
I know i'm a mess, i'm a mess
As you got to the end of the song, you saw Sadie leaning against the door watching you.
"Hey." You smiled at her.
"Hi baby." She said and then walked over to you and gave you a quick kiss.
"Where have you been?" You asked.
Sadie didn't answer but took your guitar from you. She held down the chords and started playing. You looked at her with wide eyes. She just laughed at you and started singing.
Sadie couldn't play guitar. Sometimes you tried to teach her a few chords but she always gave up.
You just admired her. Her voice, the way she played guitar... it was beautiful. You fell even more in love. You were so absorbed in admiring her that you didn't notice she'd stopped singing and asked you a question. You only noticed that she was waving her hand in front of your eyes.
"What?" You asked her, shaking your head as you came out of the trance.
Sadie giggled. "How did you like it?"
"When did you learn to play guitar?" You asked, amazed.
Sadie didn't answer but smiled at you. From the look in her eyes you knew what she was thinking about.
"Oh my god. This is why you didn't tell me where you were going." You said as you nudged her shoulder. "You took guitar lessons."
"Yeah." She smiled.
"But I don't understand. When I tried to teach you, you always gave up."
"I wanted it to be a surprise." She said as she took your hand.
"You did well." You said then gave her a slow loving kiss.
"Play it again." You said excitedly after pulling away from her.
Sadie just laughed and took your guitar in her lap again and started playing.
