Losing Innocence

Losing Innocence

Where are all the good joys
They changed, like my toys
Not the same it was before
I sometimes wish I was four

When life was simple and easy
Before sadness and hostility
I wish I wasn't talking in the past tense
If not then maybe I'd still have innocence

Sure with age comes wisdom
But in the heads of some
All their thoughts are dumb
Their hearts are simply numb

When life was simple and easy
Before sadness and hostility
I wish I wasn't talking in the past tense
If not then maybe I'd still have innocence

It's getting worse
The chorus will rehearse
And sing with your hearse
Because of this curse
The loss of innocence
Early on a prince
Maybe late on you
But still affected through
And through

Life isn't simple and easy
There is sadness and hostility
We wish we weren't talking in the past tense
If not then maybe we'd still have innocence
