Innocence

by

Dusdee Bland

The times in my life when i didn't care
It's so impossible to go back there
The smile, the sparkle, the air
I've lost all of that and it isn't fair

when we were young
we never knew
all of those days
we were true
everything hurts now
since we grew
the things we'd have changed
if only we knew

So many things i wish i had said
All of the times my soul was bled
There's so much that i can't justify in my head
I wish i could change the life that i've led

Sometimes it feels like this body's not mine
And who i am is so hard to find
When i was young i walked a straight line
Now feels like the time to redefine

the things we'd have changed
if only we knew

I think back to the days when life was simple
When there were no worries of blemishes or pimples
I wish i could still appreciate every dimple
And truely believe in my heart that my body's a temple

when we were young
we never knew
all of those days
we were true
everything hurts now
since we grew
the things we'd have changed
if only we knew
