Innocence, you were taken so slowly   It hit us suddenly   And now I can't leave my room   Cause the lights of the city   Are just hiding from the dark      Innocence, we never got to say goodbye   But the glory of redemption   Is the wisdom that we find   Has taken its place...      So this is growing up   To find the things that   You weren't old enough to know   Are the things you never wanted   As another pretty girl   Falls for another dirty lie      Innocence, we never got to say goodbye   But the glory of redemption Is the wisdom that we find   Has taken its place...      I miss that simple life   The one that never existed   Like a night in from the town   Doesn't mean you're not still there...      Innocence, we never got to say goodbye   But the glory of redemption   Is the wisdom that we find   Has taken its place...
