Lyrics

The Innocent

[Verse 1]

I have been a dancer, but without her feet

I've been a lion, but without its teeth

In the moonlight I will lie awake

Drinking lava from the lake

[Pre-Chorus]

You give (You give) your all (Your all) and in (And in) return (Return)

You get (You get) a spark (A spark) and you watch (You watch) it burn (It burn) for love

[Chorus]

The innocent life, the innocent touch is never enough

For the ones who love, the ones who love

The ones who love

[Verse 2]

Danger in the boy that would lose control

When everyone thought he had a heart of gold

I remember how we used to play

He'd let me win, if I let him stay

[Pre-Chorus]

He left without a single trace

I don't know why he said goodbye to love

(You would never let me into your heart)

(You would never let me into your heart)

(You would never let me into your heart)

(You would never let me into your heart)

[Chorus]

The innocent life, the innocent touch is never enough

For the ones who love, the ones who love

The ones who love

The innocent life, the innocent touch is never enough

For the ones who love, the ones who love

The ones who love

[Bridge]

I lay you down in the cold of the water

Watching you drown for the sake of the torture

Now you are gone, I feel that I'm closer

(You would never let me into your heart)

[Pre-Chorus]

You would never let me into your heart

You would never let me into your heart

You would never let me into your heart

You would never let me into your heart

You would never let me into your heart

You would never let me into your heart

You would never let me into your heart

You would never let me into your heart

[Chorus]

The innocent life, the innocent touch is never enough

For the ones who love, the ones who love

The ones who love

The innocent life, the innocent touch is never enough

For the ones who love, the ones who love

The ones who love
