Adia I do believe I failed you Adia I know I've let you down Don't you know I tried so hard To love you in my way It's easy let it go Adia I'm empty since you left me Trying to find a way to carry on I search myself and everyone To see where we went wrong 'Cause there's no one left to finger There's no one here to blame There's no one left to talk to, honey And there ain't no one to buy our innocence 'Cause we are born innocent Believe me Adia, we are still innocent It's easy, we all falter Does it matter? Adia I thought that we could make it But I know I can't change the way you feel I leave you with your misery A friend who won't betray I pull you from your tower I take away your pain And show you all the beauty you possess If you'd only let yourself believe that We are born innocent Believe me Adia, we are still innocent It's easy, we all falter, does it matter? Believe me Adia, we are still innocent 'Cause we are born innocent Adia we are still innocent It's easy, we all falter, but does it matter? 'Cause we are born innocent Believe me Adia, we are still innocent It's easy, we all falter Does it matter? Believe me Adia, we are still innocent 'Cause we are born innocent Believe me Adia, we are still innocent It's easy, we all falter does it matter?
