lyrics

At first I didn't know how to say,
How to spit it out and give it away,
I've gotten used to this armor, I'm strong like my father
and I was taught to be brave

I was told that the boys
who fight with their fists
only do so to prove that their egos exist
but oh how my luck goes, there's blood on my knuckles
and that innocence will be missed

That innocence will be missed.

And time eats away your beliefs
and these shallow waters turn deep
When I see all my friends going out yet again
and we drink till our hearts fall asleep

Well sometimes that's enough for the night
There's just one life, man let's live it right
We'll sing out the old songs we've known since we were young
and we'll turn our dark into light

We'll turn our dark into light.

He knew that she wouldn't deny.
And she said yes but didn't know why.
They tied the knot and her loose ends forgotten
I wish only the best to you both

I've seen true love and known what I've missed
I've seen two lovers tear it to bits
They say better to have lost, well now I know the cost
and that innocence will be missed

That innocence will be missed.
