Description

Innocent

I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back

Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything,
And everybody believed in you?

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me oh,
Who you are is not where you've been </b>
You're still an Innocent

Did some things you can't speak of
But at night you live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you had seen what you know now, then

Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days?
When everything out of reach someone bigger brought down to you?
And wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild til you fell asleep,
Before the monsters caught up to you?

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me oh,
Who you are is not where you've been

You're still an Innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32 and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did

You're still an Innocent

Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
Lives change like the weather
I hope you'll remember
Today is never too late to
Be brand new


It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me oh,
Who you are is not where you've been

You're still an Innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32 and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did

You're still an Innocent

Lost your balance on a tightrope
It's never too late to get it back...


I don't really know what came over me when I was making this. I just keep thinking back to that day, and I just...I can't...Those of you who know what happened to me, and my story will understand this song and how it relates to my life. To me, it's about someone who went through something really hard, something bad, something that really tore them apart and left them feeling worthless. Then someone else comes along and says, "Hey. You *are* worth something. Your string of lights are still bright to me. I love you, everything will be okay. Even after all you've been through, all the hell you've been through, you're still an Innocent. This doesn't define you. Who you are, is not where you've been. Who you are is not what's happened to you. This doesn't define you." She's saying, "Wasn't it easier back then, when everything was simple? When you didn't have to go through this? When all you had to do was play all day, then sleep the night away?"

Well this song...this song just relates so much to what happened to me. It just...it's just so spot on.
