Innocent Lives

You looked into her innocent eyes
Lust burning in your heart,
She trusted you with everything
But you would tear her life apart!

Nothing would stop you,
All you cared about was desire,
You took the heart of an innocent child - 
Tore it up and burned it with fire.

Innocence gone, innocence lost,
Dreams and hopes all shattered,
A life is gone through your selfishness
Maybe life just never mattered...
To you

You saw her at the school dance
Pretty as a picture
Nothing would stop you as you went to her
Stooped down and tried to kiss her

She pulled away, your anger raged
Rejected, you took her outside,
Raped and battered you left her
Inside her something died

Innocence gone, innocence lost,
Dreams and hopes all shattered,
A life is gone through your selfishness
Maybe life just never mattered...
To you

You saw her in a white dress 
Walking down the aisle 
Nothing was as radiant
As her beautiful smile

As the years went by 
She was broken and bruised
You said she was your property:
Someone to abuse
Innocence gone, innocence lost,
Dreams and hopes all shattered,
A life is gone through your selfishness
Maybe life just never mattered...
To you
