I remember the lost confusion of innocence With feelings worn so clean I wish I could look on this with different eyes And ignore the blinders reminding me Older... Wiser... Sadder... Trust has abandoned me long ago Stolen by careful dishonesty I have forgotten how... I have forgotten how... I have forgotten how... How to believe Stop me from loving to destroy Stop me from destroying all I love Stop me from loving to destroy Stop me... The pain has stripped away all rationale And left suspicion in its place I wish I could cling to this with different arms And never know the feeling of loss or emptiness Older... Wiser... Sadder... Trust has abandoned me long ago Stolen by careful dishonesty I have forgotten how... I have forgotten how... I have forgotten how... How to believe Stop me from loving to destroy Stop me from destroying all I love Stop me from loving to destroy Stop me... The d**h of youth breathes life into this fear Suffocating confidence I die each day so I can save myself Close my eyes, ignore the truth, and try hard to pretend So afraid... so afraid... so afriad... of myself... Stop me... stop me... stop me... what's wrong with me? Stop me... What's wrong with me?
