There Goes My Innocence

[Verse 1]
When I was a little girl I had all these dreams of the world
And I thought, "Well I can't wait to be a grown up so I can date
So I can kiss the boys and we can play with each other's toys"
I guess I just wanted affection, I just wanted a little protection
But boys will be boys, and a boy is not a man
But I was too young to know this, too naive to understand
That you give em' an inch, they'll take a mile
Laugh at you while you cry in a pile
And all you can think is that you'd rather die
'Cause the truth is you're already dead inside

[Chorus]
There's goes my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah
There's goes my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah

[Verse 2]
When I was 14, you stole my virginity
I was too drunk to scream and way too scared to make a scene
I went to a river party (yeah), and I followed him down the path (yeah)
He laid me on the gravel, and he fucked me just like that
The rest is a little blurry, but I think I blocked it out
Like a scene in a movie you cover your eyes so you don't have to live through the shame and the blame
And I doubt it didn't happen, 'cause it fucked me up for years
Turned me into someone who lives on edge everyday in fear
And I know I appear to be okay now, and I guess I made it this far
But the truth is I bury my burdens, they never stop hurting
It's only a matter of time 'til you see all my scars
'Til I paint them on my canvas
And if you relate, then you feel the hate
Towards the ones who take advantage

[Chorus]
There's goes my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah
There's goes my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah, my innocence, yeah
