Season's Best to ya, Bro Barry!

For Starters, GREAT Hook/Title. (WISH I'd seen it IN the Song..I'll add.)

V1 sets song up nicely.

Chorus:(Lemmie Mess With It...)

I want to go home again & see my Wife & Kids
Try to explain..the pain..'made me do the things I did
Let God above share some love so I won't stay half-hid
Living..another..Cardboard Christmas...

KOS. V2's fine.

Bridge I'll also Mess With a wee-bit, KOS:

Living through this twist of fate's been like a silent scream/
I'm wondering Lord, why let me live, while they're away from me?

(Reason's being, DON'T blame The Lord FOR one's OWN Mishaps/IF he realizes THAT, he's on the road TO recovery.) AND..ya gotta "Bottom-Out" in order TO recover, in most cases.

So..I'd argue for that Wee Change SO there's that Wee Bit OF Hope in this otherwise Very Sad One. Do that & I think you got a Winner Here. Otherwise, it's (pun intended) a Hopeless Case, Methinks!

Good Luck with it, Amigo. Best Christmas Wishes Backatcha, too!
Big Guy-Hug,
Stan
