Innocence
This is a song about someone who hurt the love of his life deeply and maybe lost that love forever.
Sometimes people hurt each other, while in their heart know it and feel bad about it, but still they let it happen.
What is there left to say in the aftermath, when all excuses and saying “I’m so sorry...” a thousand times seem so lame and useless?
Our innocence is so frail... and so is this song...
A wounded heart
Some lies cut deep
No words can heal
This pain you feel
I drown in shame
‘cause I’m the one to blame
And what I did
I can’t explain
In my heart
I’d never make you cry
But innocence is so frail
So frail ....
Crawling through the days
Into empty nights
When I lie awake
And watch the sky
The stars were bright and alive
When you were by my side
Now that I’m alone
They seem so pale and cold
My star
Has vanished in thin air
Our innocence is so frail
So frail ...
And in my heart
I’d never make you cry
But innocence is so frail
So frail ....
