Mess (Live at Avalon, Boston, MA - June 2002) - Ben Folds/Neil Hannon

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

So i can't be see

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 i can't be saved

All alone as i've learned to be

In this mess i have made
