Sometimes Love Gets Messy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bianca kept a calendar marked in blue Dreamed of a Friday with somebody new Dad laid down one rule at the kitchen table: “Kat goes first”—like that was negotiable Kat had her own keys, her own point of view A stack of books and no time for a queue “Romance?” she said, “I have laundry to do” Bianca sighed, “So what am I supposed to do?” [Pre-Chorus] Then Cameron showed up with a half-baked plan A little cash, a borrowed grin, a complicated man Patrick said yes, though he knew it was a game Until Kat laughed—and nothing felt the same [Chorus] Two hearts, one deal, and a house full of rules A fake little date turned the whole thing upside down Kat said, “I don’t need saving, I can choose what I feel” Patrick learned the hardest part was making something real Bianca watched the doors swing open, watched the old rule disappear Sometimes love gets messy before it gets clear [Verse 2] Patrick played the mystery, leather jacket, crooked smile Kat saw right through him in a little while They traded sharp remarks on the walk back home Then stayed on the porch when they could’ve gone alone Bianca got her movie night, her hopeful little start While Kat kept finding reasons not to guard her heart But secrets have a way of landing like a stone And one truth in the open left them both alone [Pre-Chorus] The money, the plan, every carefully staged hello Kat heard it all and watched the warmth go cold Patrick tried to speak; she turned away Some apologies arrive too late that day [Chorus] Two hearts, one deal, and a house full of rules A fake little date turned the whole thing upside down Kat said, “I don’t need saving, I can choose what I feel” Patrick learned the hardest part was making something real Bianca watched the doors swing open, watched the old rule disappear Sometimes love gets messy before it gets clear [Bridge] Kat stood with her pages, hands a little unsure Read the words she’d kept behind a locked door “I was fine alone; I still can be But you made room beside you without changing me” Patrick said, “I’m sorry. I should’ve told you then” She looked up from the poem—and let him try again [Final Chorus] No deal, no lines, no house full of rules Just two stubborn hearts deciding what to do Kat said, “I don’t need saving, I can choose what I feel” Patrick said, “I know—and I want the honest real” Bianca took her chance, and Kat took his hand They met each other where they chose to stand Sometimes love gets messy, then it makes things clear [Outro] Kat smiled through the last line, Patrick leaned in near One kiss, one laugh, and the room disappeared
