This is "All I Am" performed at the 2011 SPU Talent Show by Most People.
Lyrics:
A mess is all I can make
A mess is all I can make
On my hands and knees sorting through this mess
If it weren’t for the distractions I would have known
A mess is all I can make
A mess is all I can make
What started in fear (of loving)
Ended in fear (of being loved)
As I learned (your fragile soul)
You shared
Your brother, your fears, your faults
Then in a moment when words were not enough
You told me to fall, fall, fall, fall
So I fell…and I felt…and I forgot
O, I gave all that I am
O, I gave all that I am
O, I gave all that I am
But was I supposed to love you forever?
Was I supposed to give you more than I had?
The man I am can’t fall forever
And I’ve fallen as long as I can
Don’t be afraid to fall now, this is just as far as I can go
I’m sorry I’m a selfish man; maybe when I’m older…
I’m sorry I’m only half a man; I’ll try to leave quietly…
I want to be whole (O, you know I want to)
I want to be more (O, you know I’m not right)
You are not to blame
It is I who caused this pain
Don’t change, don’t cry
Just blame me for this crime
For earning all your trust
For holding on too long
For not holding on long enough
For ever trying at all
Now that I stand here on this shaking ground
Is it that I was wrong all along?
When I’ve woken from this trance
Will I find that I loved you all along?
We hear “it will be ok” but not here or now
We are hurting and scared
Maybe we will forget this pain
And only the fear of knowing a soul will remain
Love makes a mess
O, what an awful mess we have made
O, what a beautiful mess we have made
Don’t be afraid to make a mess
We have to give it our best
Because a mess is all we can make
I just couldn’t be my best
Though there will be pain
Living in this beautiful mess is who we are
We have to give, we have try
But as long as we feel, we feel
But as long as we feel, we feel pain
O, what a beautiful mess we all are
O, what a beautiful mess we all are
O, what a beautiful mess we all are
O, what a beautiful mess we all are
