There 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 believe in love
all 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 anymore
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 can't be saved
all alone as I've learned to be
in this mess I have made
