When you say I've lost my innocence so many times   Why can't I believe   I know it's not that I am overcome or that I'm blind   Why can't I believe      When you say that all my hope is gone, that I don't try   Why can't I believe   I know things aren't the way I said they'd be and that I lied   Why can't I believe      Your words are like a story   I thought I'd got it right this time   You leave me by myself   You're trying to control me   Throw tension to the side this time   You leave me by myself      But I can't walk away   You walk away
