Mess Songtext
von Ben Folds

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
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 be saved (Be saved)
All alone as I′ve learned to be
In this mess I have made
