The Loss of Innocence
One day you said you would be leaving
You would go away like you always had planned
I was just a foolish bystander to not understand
The pain of all silly games we played
I know I had you deep inside somewhere
Where we still played and would hide
I know I had you forever embedded somewhere in my soul
Then you were gone
I felt as if the earth started to shake
An earthquake is it what caused this fragile heart to break?
Or was it simply the loss of our innocence
We were no longer young
Where it seemed life with you would always go on
Now we have grown to many ways
To desperate to stay where we are standing now
So you packed and left
I felt as if I was knocking on Hell's door
Give me all the pain
I deserve more
Yet angels still do whisper in my ear from time to time
Let it go
Happiness can’t be bought or taken
It is what it is when we feel ourselves no longer broken
Even with the loss of innocence
