Mess - Ben Folds Five

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

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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 (So I can’t)

Be tamed (Be saved)

All alone as I’ve learned to be

In this mess (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

But 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 (So I can’t)

Be saved (Be saved)

All alone as I’ve learned to be

In this mess (In this mess)

I have made

Ooh
