Back to Innocence

Life doesn't live in the movies, they tell us all these lies.
I've learned to accept disappointments through silent cries.
Then you came into my life and sucked the poison out.
You reminded me of what can be and hope can be found.

Now I'm back to innocence.
I was holding on a thread.
But I'm back to innocence
With hopes for dreams instead.
I waited long and I fought hard,
And got scars on my heart.
With you, I'm back to the start.
I'm back to innocence.

I hopelessly lost hope in the evil game of love.
I took a step into the darkness, accepting what I'd become.
You pulled me into brighter nights and those glittering days.
A light at the end of the tunnel, though you couldn't stay.

Now I'm back to innocence.
I was holding on a thread.
But I'm back to innocence
With hopes for dreams instead.
I waited long and I fought hard,
And got scars on my heart.
With you, I'm back to the start.
I'm back to innocence.

I'm not used to what you threw before us.
I've been broken and abused, losing all trust.
One after another I expected they all want the same.
You were that one small change, bringing me back
To believe in innocence.

Now I'm back to innocence.
I was holding on a thread.
But I'm back to innocence
With hopes for dreams instead.
I waited long and I fought hard,
And got scars on my heart.
With you, I'm back to the start.
I'm back to innocence.

Now I know innocence.
I'm back to innocence.
Thank you for innocence.

Substance Abuse

I've been counting down the weeks till you come back,
Slipping into ways of my lethal past.
It's cyanide I'm sipping in my crystal glass,
Fumes for oxygen in my lungs till you come back.

Keep me warm, hold me tight,
Be the substance to get me through the night.
Be my sin, be my love,
All I need to fall asleep is for you as my drug.
Give me love, give me love
Be my drug, be my drug.

Time is ticking and I'm slipping farther into you,
Even though distance pains in truth.
It's Valium I'm mixing into liquid courage drinks.
Clouds for clear vision when I begin to think.

Keep me warm, hold me tight,
Be the substance to get me through the night.
Be my sin, be my love,
All I need to fall asleep is for you as my drug.
Give me love, give me love
Be my drug, be my drug.

You're so far away and he's so close,
You must understand it.
For now I just need him as a distraction,
You must understand it.
He's like the sugar,
When I'm addicted to something else .
He's my distraction,
When I'm addicted to you.

Keep me warm, hold me tight,
Be the substance to get me through the night.
Be my sin, be my love,
All I need to fall asleep is for you as my drug.
Give me love, give me love
Be my drug, be my drug,
Give me substance, be my substance.
