I remember the lost confusion of innocence

With feelings worn so clean

I wish I could look on this with different eyes

And ignore the blinders reminding me



Older...

Wiser...

Sadder...

Trust has abandoned me long ago

Stolen by careful dishonesty

I have forgotten how...

I have forgotten how...

I have forgotten how... How to believe

Stop me from loving to destroy

Stop me from destroying all I love

Stop me from loving to destroy

Stop me...



The pain has stripped away all rationale

And left suspicion in its place

I wish I could cling to this with different arms

And never know the feeling of loss or emptiness



Older...

Wiser...

Sadder...

Trust has abandoned me long ago

Stolen by careful dishonesty

I have forgotten how...

I have forgotten how...

I have forgotten how... How to believe

Stop me from loving to destroy

Stop me from destroying all I love

Stop me from loving to destroy

Stop me...



The death of youth breathes life into this fear

Suffocating confidence

I die each day so I can save myself

Close my eyes, ignore the truth, and try hard to pretend



So afraid... so afraid... so afriad... of myself...

Stop me... stop me... stop me... what's wrong with me?

Stop me...

What's wrong with me?
