There was a time that 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 of 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



But 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
