Innocent
Moonlight Awakening Lyrics

Is it too late to remember those innocent days?
Questioning if it is too late to recall the times when we were pure without any guilt or wrongdoing.

You harbour resentment, I know
I am aware that you are still holding onto anger towards me.

You remember only the things I've taken away
You can only think about what you have lost because of me.

I'm silenced by grief and crying below this haze...
I am drowning in sorrow, unable to express my sadness.

I've been so selfish, been such a fool,
I have only thought about my own desires and missed the chance to understand you.

I always knew I'd never really get inside of you
I have always felt that I could never truly understand or penetrate your emotions.

Is it too late to hope now everything's changed?
Questioning if it is too late to expect some changes in our current situation.

We've traded places yet it's never the same
Even though our roles may have been reversed, it does not make the relationship any better.

They sought the illusion that I shed
People sought after the fake version of me that I portrayed.

To become the one thing that they dread
These individuals now regret believing in the fake image I portrayed for them.

They're all discouraged catastrophes
The people who believed in me are now disappointed and are facing chaotic consequences.

And I'll never grant them any of my sympathy
I will not feel sorry for those who chose to believe my false image.

If only we learned to forget...
Expressing how much simpler life would be if we could just forget.

Instead we're taught to regret...
Instead, we have learned to feel guilty for our past actions.

It was always my thought if we learned to forget we'd be innocent again
The singer believed that forgetting our past mistakes would make us pure and untainted again.

The way we must think, the way we must choose, the way we must always pretend
We are expected to think in a certain way, make specific choices, and continuously pretend to be someone we are not.

Because who can argue what's right or wrong when it all comes down to the End?
Questioning the basic concept of right or wrong when we all ultimately face the same fate in the end.

If only we'd learned to forget...
Reiterating how much easier it would have been if we could forget our past mistakes.

We'd never know such regret...
If we could forget, we would never have to feel the emotional pain of regret.
