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
