Adia

      by Sarah McLachlan


      Adia I do believe I failed you
      Adia I know I let you down
      don't you know I tried so hard
      to love you in my way
      it's easy let it go...

      Adia I'm empty since you left me
      trying to find a way to carry on
      I search myself and everyone
      to see where we went wrong

      'Cause there's no one left to finger
      there's no one here to blame
      there's no one left to talk to, honey
      and there ain't no one to buy our innocence
      'cause we are born innocent
      believe me Adia, we are still innocent
      it's easy, we all falter
      does it matter?

      Adia I thought that we could make it
      but I know I can't change the way you feel
      I leave you with your misery
      a friend who won't betray
      I pull you from your tower
      I take away your pain
      and show you all the beauty you possess
      if you'd only let yourself believe that
      we are born innocent
      believe me Adia, we are still innocent
      it's easy, we all falter, does it matter?
      believe me Adia, we are still innocent
      'cause we are born innocent
      Adia we are still innocent
      it's easy, we all falter ... but does it matter?
