There was a time when I
had nothing to explain
all this mess I have made
But then things got complicated
my innocence has all but faded
all 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

And I don't believe in love
so I can't 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
History books and pictures on the floor
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 love
so I can't be tamed
All alone as I've learned to be
in this mess I have made
The same mistakes
over and over again
