Innocence

I miss our innocence I miss the way we were our youthful memories that you don't even remember I turn to you still beside me but a needle tears us a mile away and I wonder what went wrong where has youth and freedom gone we had dreams in stars, ambitions tell me what went wrong when I think about time how it has eaten you from inside you decay in moments you waste that I'd do anything to pull it back to relive and rewind maybe we all feel the same looking backwards at things we can not change looking forwards and only seeing pain then nothing matters nothing matters I want to tell you how I'm lost that I'm reaching for you in this fog that I need you more than I could ever show But I turn to meet your eyes And I crumble under their ice nothing's funny nothing hurts anymore nothing exists for us tell me what went wrong if my screams could reach you for just a second of your time just to take a moment just to make it mine
