The innocence faded from this heart yet I long for a blissful return
(Such were the joys)
Of the days that passed me by now dead and gone
Only memories of the past still exist and endure
These remnants, reflections from so long ago
That faded away. So beautiful
Euphoric, enthralling, ephemeral
Now withered, and tattered, and now hollow
Now an empty shell of what once was
The innocence faded from this heart yet I longed for a blissful return
(Such were the joys)
Of the days that passed me by now dead and gone
The years passed, aspirations fade as I start to understand and learn
To finally let go of what's never meant to be
Only memories of the past still exist and endure
Now they haunt me, they never would cease to let go
Persisting, unending, continual
I'm unable to regress to days gone by
Accepting this bitter truth from life
Nothing ever leads to innocence again
(The innocence never to return now gone with all these yesterdays
The countless attempts to reclaim were all in vain for what once remained)
The innocence faded from this heart yet I longed for a blissful return
(Such were the joys)
Of the days that passed me by now dead and gone
More years passed, aspirations fade no longer did I still yearn
I finally let go of what's never meant to be
