Once So Innocent, Once So Sweet Lyrics

Looking thru these old photographs of you.

As a child.

I remember you as bright.

With a laughter that was out of sight.

Everything was alright.

But when you got older.

You became more distant and colder.

Put all the weight upon your shoulder.

And Lost so much of what you once were.

Sure you may say it's fun.

Doing what you do.

But in the end it isn't.

With a Bottle in your hand.

And a cigarette in the other.

What happened to the Doll?

And the Barbie you would pick up, when it would fall?

See you lying in some street reeking of Alcohol.

Sitting there as if you were dead.

Do you see the tears of which he has shed?

He wants you to be Sober instead.

Wants you to use your head.

Not like this.

Cus you were...

(Chorus)

Once So Innocent, Once So Sweet.

Now you're some hooker on the street.

Who people treat.

Like a piece of meat.

Can you feel it dying beneath your feet?

Doesn't seem like you wanna beat.

How they mistreat.

You.

Once So Innocent, Once So Sweet.

Now you are just some partier.

Saying it when you Tweet.

Nothing but a cheat.

Who sat on the seat.

Of those who once would mistreat.

Her.

(End of 1st Chorus).

Do you remember, when you and I used to play at the park.

And stay there till it got dark?

Or is it just another Stark.

Daydream to you now?

You'd ask how.

Would such a person come to be this way.

Well, there's nothing more I can really say.

Except they robbed her of her Freedom.

And if I ever see them again.

I'll put them back in the dark alley they belong in.

She was...

(Chorus)

Once So Innocent, Once So Sweet.

Now you're just being used.

By this System.

Where no one cares.

Except me.

Except me!

I want you to be free!

Not a Slave to the Bottle.

Just like they make you a slave to the needle!

You were...

Once So Innocent, Once So Sweet.

I just wanna keep hitting Repeat.

Peat-peat-peat-peat.

Until you can finally Wake Up and See.

Illusion from Reality!!!

(End of Last Chorus).

I, I, I, I.

Don't want to see you Die.

Don't wanna say goodbye.

Cus I would never lie bout...

The way I feel about you.

Let this be your Symphony.

Cus I constantly.

Think about You.

Can't get you out of my head.

I sing this song for you instead

And keep on hitting Repeat, repeat, repeat.

I can't get out of this Seat.

It's like you're a thousand feat.

Away from.

Me...
