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
  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 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
