Rag doll

Innocence is bliss
because you never know
The nights are cold
The days stay long
Rules govern the world
and make your life your own.

But that can change.

You begin to hear things you wish you never did
The hugs you got
become more like a cling
Love's the word
you've gotta earn!
Come on, baby
else you'll never learn.

But that will change.

The ones you looked to
suddenly won't let go
Fear can't go away
and you don't see
how they don't know
You feel like a rag doll
being torn this way and that
They fight and tug
until you feel you'll snap.

But nothing's gonna change.
