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 risqué 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".

Ignorance Is Bliss
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.
