You used to be so innocent Never questioning why your brother was gone for weeks Why mom and dad weren't talking Why your teachers always gave you such sad looks You miss the days when your biggest problem was getting the wrong ice cream Not making it seem as if nothing is wrong Putting up a false front Trying to please others You miss the days when your parents made friends for you Not how you walk through the halls alone Keeping your head down Hoping not to see the looks you know you’re receiving Nights spent alone Crying Having no one to turn to You miss the days when everything seemed so perfect When you didn't shake in terror at the mere thought of school Having to deal with everyone Acting as if you’re okay You miss the days when you were innocent

Innocence
You used to be so innocent Never questioning why your brother was gone for weeks Why mom and dad weren't talking Why your teachers always gave you such sad looks You miss the days when your biggest problem was getting the wrong ice cream Not making it seem as if nothing is wrong Putting up a false front Trying to please others You miss the days when your parents made friends for you Not how you walk through the halls alone Keeping your head down Hoping not to see the looks you know you’re receiving Nights spent alone Crying Having no one to turn to You miss the days when everything seemed so perfect When you didn't shake in terror at the mere thought of school Having to deal with everyone Acting as if you’re okay You miss the days when you were innocent
