Innocence is a thing the soul must guard A heart is fragile and easily marred There are those who wound and steal What they hurt is hard to heal They feed on your trust and your need to believe Use your dreams to dupe and deceive They'll show you the moon and your very own star Tell you it's time to prove who you are Then point to the wind and the open sky While they tie your wings so you can't fly All the while daring you not to cry At first you hardly notice the pain 'cause they're so good at how to explain Behind a mask of love they hide their loathing Beware of wolves in sheeps' clothing They'll never give you room to complain The blood of betrayal leaves no stain Behind a mask of love they hide their loathing Beware of wolves in sheeps' clothing Here they come with their encircling arms While they sink their teeth with their worldly charms They'll hold you close while tear you apart Cradle your head while they rip out your heart Keep feeding you hope while they bleed you dry All the while looking you in the eye Daring you not to utter a cry
