I may not have taken my time when I moved on
But I wasn't wrong when I had been the only one who held on
How many years I could recollect, but it isn't worth it
Nor is that healthy

Now I know what I know and what I don't know by my own choice.

Ignorance is bliss when it comes to moving on.
Indifference is what you aim to feel after all is said and done
Sure, some people try to tell me about how you are
But I instead walk away and speak no words
It isn't worth knowing

We aren't friends
We aren't lovers
We aren't meant to be
We are simply a thing of the past
We had our time and that time left me sore
And I will not fight myself anymore.

The love I had was always mind over matter
I didn't view it that way back then,
Yes, I do admit.
You were the center of my fascination.
You were the Apple of my eye.
But I can't believe I led myself to believe all of your lies.
I guess I was love drunk on my first actual love.
I never let anyone in, so the first person I did, I never wanted to let go.
It was too risquΓ© to me..
My psyche was telling me you would betray me..
And it was right.

That's why ignorance is bliss.
I don't open up
And I don't chase
I don't care about what people say
I don't look at pictures
I don't recollect
I just simply turn my back and I remind myself
"Ignorance is Bliss".
