Innocence, you were taken so slowly It hit us suddenly And now I can't leave my room 'Cause the lights of the city Are just hiding from the dark Innocence, we never got to say goodbye But the glory of redemption Is the wisdom that we find Has taken its place So this is growing up To find the things that You weren't old enough to know Are the things you never wanted As another pretty girl Falls for another dirty lie Innocence, we never got to say goodbye But the glory of redemption Is the wisdom that we find Has taken its place I miss that simple life The one that never existed Like a night in from the town Doesn't mean you're not still there Innocence, we never got to say goodbye But the glory of redemption Is the wisdom that we find Has taken its place
