There Goes My Innocence - Delaney Jane

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

There’s goes my innocence yeah, my innocence yeah, my innocence yeah

There’s goes my innocence yeah, my innocence yeah, my innocence yeah

When I was fourteen 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

There’s goes my innocence yeah, my innocence yeah, my innocence yeah

There’s goes my innocence yeah, my innocence yeah, my innocence yeah
