Innocence Lyrics

I broke a promise now
so I'm wrestling now
I'll try to remember how
so try, forget if you can
now wash the sheets and tear my face right down of all the walls (x4)

Come on and call on me
I want to let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna see you right now
I never wanted to bleed you
never wanted your hand
come on and call on me, dear

I know that decadence defiles what I am
I know that innocence decides what I am
I wanna feel this pain again before I fade away (x4)

Come on and call on me
I want to let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna see you right now
I never wanted to bleed you
never wanted your hand
come on and call on me, dear

And now I understand
that suffering is every where
theres so much left to learn

Come on and call on me
I want to let you down
Come on and call on me
I wanna see you right now
I never wanted to bleed you
never wanted your hand
come on and call on me, I wanna let you down

Come on and call on me,
I want to let you down (x3)

And now I understand
theres not much left for me here
I guess its over now
theres so much left to pay (x4)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sounds like he's struggling with being a celebrity

@CharlieBrown29 Hopefully, because if this was about a close friend that would be messed up.
