Mess Lyrics - The Unauthorized Biography Of Reinhold Messner - Ben Folds Five

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
