Goodbye Innocence

Goodbye innocence

You didn't stay too long

You were her haven

Her solace while she was young

But fate decreed that fear would form her personality

And she would cry when daylight passed

Knowing that the night would bring

Daddy

Goodbye innocence

You made her happy

Goodbye innocence

You saved her from pain

But you weren't enough

To break the heavy fall

Goodbye

Goodbye innocence

Now a woman

Her character's 'unclean'

Childhood haunts her

She's fighting the things unseen

A slave to memory

Relived as she sleeps

And freedom like the prisoner

Whose fate is sealed by hate

Is a dream

Goodbye innocence

You made her happy

Goodbye innocence

You saved her from pain

But you weren't enough

To break the heavy fall

Goodbye

Goodbye innocence

If only she found a reason to trust somebody

She would find a friend in me

O yes

See

I can't take away the pain

That she endured no

No

No

But I try to ease her misery

Goodbye innocence

You made her happy

Goodbye innocence

You saved her from pain

But you weren't enough

To break the heavy fall

Goodbye

Goodbye innocence
