Anacrusis — Stop Me

I remember the lost confusion of innocence
With feelings worn so clean
I wish I could look on this with different eyes
And ignore the blinders reminding me

Older…
Wiser…
Sadder…
Trust has abandoned me long ago
Stolen by careful dishonesty
I have forgotten how…
I have forgotten how…
I have forgotten how… How to believe
Stop me from loving to destroy
Stop me from destroying all I love
Stop me from loving to destroy
Stop me…

The pain has stripped away all rationale
And left suspicion in its place
I wish I could cling to this with different arms
And never know the feeling of loss or emptiness

Older…
Wiser…
Sadder…
Trust has abandoned me long ago
Stolen by careful dishonesty
I have forgotten how…
I have forgotten how…
I have forgotten how… How to believe
Stop me from loving to destroy
Stop me from destroying all I love
