When I was a little girl, I had all these dreams, the world and I thought, well, I can't
wait to be a grown-up so I can dance, so I can kiss the boys and we can play with each
other's toys.
I guess I just wanted affection, I just wanted a little protection, but boys will be boys
and a boy is not a man, but I was too young to know this, too naive to understand, that
you give him an inch, he'll take a mile, laugh at you while you cry in a pile, and all you
can think is that you'd rather die, cause the truth is you're already dead inside.
There goes my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah.
There goes my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah.
When I was fourteen, he stole my virginity, I was too drunk to scream and way too scared
to make a scene, I went to a river party and I followed him down the path, he laid me on
the gravel and he fucked me just like that, the rest is a little blurry, but I think I
blocked it out, like a scene in a movie, you cover your eyes so you don't have to live
through the shame and the blame and I doubt it didn't happen, cause it fucked me up for
years, turned me into someone who lives on edge everyday in fear and I know I appear
to be okay now, and I guess I made it this far, but the truth is I bury my burdens and
never stop hurting, it's only a matter of time till you see all my scars, till I paint
them on a canvas, and if you relate then you feel the hate towards the ones who take advantage.
There goes my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah.
There goes my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah.
