Innocence

I seem to forget the way we used to run
Sing to the world and laugh at the sun
I can't remember the time I used to smile
And dream of more days of hapiness
For now I have grown and learned my life
And I know what this world is all about

From dress up dolls and scraped knees
To broken hearts and shattered dreams

I can't hold on to the past even if I try
To a world I knew and felt safe and warm
I try to hold on but I loosen my grip
And I fall into this vast abyss
I'm frightened, I'm scared
I'm lost and unaware
I never dreamed of a real world like this

Do you remember a time when you used to play
With not a care in the world or a tear being shed
It's hard to remember when everything was fine
And everyone loved everyone, we were all fine
As the years go by you start to realize
Life isn't what you wished it would be

From dress up dolls and scraped knees
To broken hearts and shattered dreams

I can't hold on to the past even if I try
To a world I knew and felt safe and warm
I try to hold on but I loosen my grip
And I fall into this vast abyss
I'm frightened, I'm scared
I'm lost and unaware
I never dreamed of a real world like this

I'm reaching back out to my fantasy world
Where I could be anything I chose
I'm falling deeper into this devestation
Why couldn't I stay in my own little world for just one more day?

From dress up dolls and scraped knees
To broken hearts and shattered dreams

I can't hold on to the past even if I try
To a world I knew and felt safe and warm
I try to hold on but I loosen my grip
And I fall into this vast abyss
I'm frightened, I'm scared
I'm lost and unaware
I never dreamed of a real world like this

I can't hold on to the past even if I try
To a world I knew and felt safe and warm
I try to hold on but I loosen my grip
And I fall into this vast abyss
I'm frightened, I'm scared
I'm lost and unaware
I never dreamed of a real world like this
