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
