Being close to you is all that I want
from our first night at the restaurant
The way our lips did the meet and greets
my heart did skip too many beats

Taken away to another plane
a goal that I have never attained
Wanting things to always last
even though I have a troubled past

Innocence has been taken
gone away and forsaken
Never to come back again
gone away that old friend

Never to become that close
for it's another nail on my post
Those worded nails really hurt me
can't let it go and never let it be

Those pictures haunt my nights
even if I never had sight
Those images keep coming back
for it is pain that I do not lack

Innocence has been taken
gone away and forsaken
Never to come back again
gone away that old friend

I try to find my words to say
trying to forget everything from yesterday
But the past will not be changed
everything gets confusing and rearranged

The words that were said still hurt
they dig my grave in the cold dirt
making the hole 12 feet underground
to keep me from coming back around

Innocence has been taken
gone away and forsaken
never to come back again
gone away that old friend
