| I see my life, and who I am today What I wouldn't give to be in the past Ignorantly enjoying that sweet ignorance That never seems to last As the last of it slips away And the cloud of loss settles in The burden of guilt is all for you As you mourn innocent sin It tears you apart, piece by piece While tears roll down your face You cry out to God, "I didn't know!" But you knew, you just wanted a litle taste Now you pay the price of personal torment No forgiveness for or from yourself You must accept and come to terms So it can die, forgotten on a shelf Now you feel better, but you know better as well A little piece of innocence, lost forever, gone away So you just pick yourself up and move on To lose yourself again, some other day |
