Mess

This song has recently made it to the top of my playlist. I love the instrumental accompaniment and the lyrics have affected me.

Mess

Ben Folds Five

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 (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

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

No I don't (no 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
