Building a Mystery is a song by Sarah McLachlan, from her multi-platinum album Surfacing, first released in 1997.
A fan favourite, the song was an immediate top-40, Soft AC, and Hot AC hit which paved the grounds for her future songs "Sweet Surrender", "Adia", and "Angel", all from the Surfacing album.
The album version of "Building a Mystery" contains the line, "A beautiful fucked up man". The radio version replaces this line with "A beautiful but strange man," and when performing live, Sarah sings the line "A beautiful messed up man."
