Ben Folds Mess Lyrics

Mess Lyrics

Was a time when I had nothing to explain

Oh, this mess I had 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 believe in love

And I can't be changed

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 any more

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 believe in God

So I can't be saved

All alone as I've learned to be

In this mess, I have made
