Mess Songtext

von Ben Folds

There was a time when I
Had nothing to explain
Oh, this mess I have made
But then things got complicated
My innocence has all but faded
Oh, this mess I have made
And I don't
Believe in God
So I can't
Be saved
All alone,
As I've learned to be
In this mess
I have made

All the untested virtue
The things I said I'd never do
Least of all to you
I know he's kind and true
I know that he is good to you
He'll never care for you more than I do

But I don't (no I don't)
Believe in love
So I can't
Be tamed (be saved)
All alone,
As I've learned to be
In this mess
I have made
The same mistakes
Over and over
Again

There are rooms in this house
That I don't open anymore
Dusty books and pictures on the floor
That she will never see
She'll never see that part of me
I want to be for her what I
Could never be for you

And I don't (no I don't)
Believe in God
So I can't
Be saved
All alone,
As I've learned to be
In this mess
I have made
