Shep Pettibone - Goodbye to Innocence lyrics

[Intro] I don't want to say goodbye [Verse 1] There are some who believe that I owe them something But they're wrong, I owe nothing to no one but myself And there are some who say they created me But only my parents will have that acclaim I took it from there, I am to blame [Chorus] Say goodbye to anonymity I have to (have to, have to) say goodbye To privacy, but most of all To innocence, to innocence To innocence, to innocence [Verse 2] My life is not a game that I play to entertain you And if you can do it better, then you're welcome to my fame I'm not going to waste my time correcting myths and rumors You believe what you want to believe [Chorus] [Interlude] I don't want to say goodbye I don't need a reason to cry Kinda makes me want to Kinda makes me have to Stop and think about it Stop and think about it Stop and think about it Stop and think about it Do I want to? I don't (getting up and down) I don't (getting up and down) I don't (getting up and down) Up-up, d-d-down, up-up-up I don't (getting up and down) I don't (getting up and down) I don't (getting up and down) Up-up, d-d-down, up-up-up Listen up It always comes down to this It always comes down to this [Verse 3] Some people have a snake at the base of their spine That would s** out your life, that would take all your time They're called feeders They're not believers but you must not fear it They're takers You know you better stop, stop and think about it You know you better stop, stop and think about it You know you better stop, stop and think about it You know you better stop, stop and think about it Your innocence Your innocence Your innocence Your innocence I don't want to say goodbye to innocence I don't need a reason to cry, innocence Hold on to your innocence Hold on (hold on, hold on), hold on to innocence Hold on [Outro] Stop and think about it, say goodbye, think about it Stop and think about it, say goodbye, think about it Stop and think about it, say goodbye, think about it
