Album : The Best Imitation Of Myself : A Retrospective

Was a time when I had nothing to explainOh, this mess I had madeBut then things got complicated my innocence has all but fadedOh, this mess I have madeAnd I don't believe in GodSo I can't be savedAll alone as I've learned to beIn this mess, I have madeAll the untested virtueThe things I said I'd never do least of all to youI know he's kind and true, I know that he is good to youHe'll never care for you more than I doBut I don't believe in loveAnd I can't be changedAll alone as I've learned to beIn this mess, I have madeThe same mistakes over and over againThere are rooms in this house that I don't open any moreDusty books and pictures on the floorThat she will never see, she'll never see that part of meI want to be for her what I could never be for youAnd I don't believe in GodSo I can't be savedAll alone as I've learned to beIn this mess, I have made
