Innocence Misunderstood @ 1:00 AM
I have nothing else to lose.
You have everything at stake.
Won't allow myself to be the one to steal all you have
to take
away an innocence that doesn't belong to me.
Got to walk away,
without a tear, and say:
"Don't follow me."
...........
You don't know how hard it is to say:
"Please, don't follow me."
............
I have nothing else to lose.
You have everything at stake.
Guard, protect, and hold the blank eraserboard,
or they will make a permanent encription your innocence cannot break.
In coded black I beg and plead:
"Turn around for your own sake!
Don't follow me"
............
Hear what I hear. See what I see.
Please don't follow me.
............
You have everything at stake.
I have nothing else to lose.
Let me turn and walk away,
so you will never have to choose between loving me...
or leaving me.
Yeah, your heart may take a bruise.
Babe, believe me, it's your innocence that propels me to the truth;
to use purity,
what's left in me, and cry
"Don't follow me."
............
I'm crying:
"Love, don't follow me."
............
