Not To Say

Fade me
Back into submission
Take me down that hallway again
Lost my innocence long ago
Actually you took it from me
Remember that?
Said not to say anything
And now it's stuck in me
Eating away until there's nothing left
That was your gift
I forgot to say thank you
But I won't pass it on
You won't live in me like that
You had me, but you won't take others down too
And I'll be there at your end
With that crooked smile
And a laugh and maybe even a tear
