lyrics

Innocence is a virtue

You used to be my best friend
Now i barely see you in the bed
It's like you don't know who i am
It's like you don't care anymore
The hours getting late once again
And i wait to hear your keys rattling in
Don't know why i waste my time
You text me don't wait, i'll be another while

They said innocence is a virtue
Be a good man be kind
Never leave a mess behind
They said innocence is a virtue
Be a good man be kind
So why the hell i'm always left behind

You used to hold me close to the bitter end
Now you barely touch me, barely hold my hand
You tell me tales of men who are just friends
But somehow it just don't make sense
I miss you even though you're not gone
It feels like I am all alone
You stay out till the night fades away
And do your best to sleep through the day
