March '97

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
