Innocence broken

by Ellieh   Mar 10, 2006


Did you ever look beyond my face?
did you see my manners or my grace?
Once you made me a promise of love i could not refuse
Our love shone so bright
it illuminated the light

Once you had what you wanted you left me
alone, helpless
i wish i had of been clever
i wish i had of understood
Did you love me at all
or was it just a lie
tell me the truth
and look into my eyes

I gave you my heart
so we'd never be apart
i gave you my innocence hoping you'd love me more

You broke my heart
smashing it apart
you took my innocence
without a second thought

Ooh why couldn't you love me i screamed till i bled
why couldn't we stay together
i asked as i fell into my bed
God how i loved him

Five years later
I'm less likely to rise to the bait
it must be a family trait
I'm wearing a new mask the other one you ripped apart
i grew up with beauty and with a good heart
Not completely mended but stronger than it was before you ripped it apart
Alone in my bedroom i sit and cry
wishing that the memories of you would wither and die

I never understood what you did or why
all i know now is that it was all based upon a lie
Don't you try again
for this time ill be prepared and not give you a single care
Maybe then you'll realize
That my heart has a price
