Innocence Lost Lyrics by Brother Mikey

Heart Forward

2020

Little boy crying through the night
Momma’s not around to hear the little boy cry
Wondering why
Where did she go
Follow the snow
Wherever it flows
I can feel the danger in the air
The way they looking at me now is filling me with fear
Come protect me
They’re gonna get me
The little boy is screaming cuz the monster’s in his bed
But Momma’s always saying that the monster’s in his head
His heart is broken
From the words that she’s spoken
Now what would people think if they all knew
All the horrifying things that I go through
No adults that I could trust to tell the truth
I guess I’m just damaged and all alone
Screaming out “Nooooo”
He tried so hard to tell you
Was it too hard to listen?
Was it too much to love me...
...and protect my innocence?
“Nooooo”
I tried so hard to say it
Was it too much to listen?
Was it so hard to love me...
...and protect my innocence?
Little boy’s calling through the night
But Momma’s not around to hear the hungry belly cry
He’s wondering why
Where will it end?
He’s feeling no love
And he can’t pretend
NO
He feels the trauma of being ripped from his beautiful island
Brought to a big City then never seems to be abandoned again
Smoking hemp up on the roof and I’m feeling shut down
Wonderin’ if I jump will I ever come down?
Burning in my mouth
‘bout to pull the trigger now
But it never go off
Creator had another round
Now what would people think if they all knew
All the horrifying things that I go through
No adult that I could trust to tell the truth
I guess I’m just damaged and all alone
Screaming out
“Nooooo”
He tried so hard to tell you
Was it too hard to listen?
Was it too much to love me...
...and protect my innocence?
“Nooooo”
I tried so hard to say it
Was it too much to listen?
Was it so hard to love me...
...and protect my innocence?
Little boy grew up to be a man
And he found love in the form of a woman
That gifted him two beautiful children
And they showed him unconditional love
And he knew he wasn’t broken
He knew he wasn’t done
He knew that it was over
He no longer had to run
Now he can be somebody that can
Bring the awareness that can change and
Let em know they’re are not alone
“Nooooo”
He tried so hard to tell you
Was it too hard to listen?
Was it too much to love me...
...and protect my innocence?
“Nooooo”
I tried so hard to say it
Was it too much to listen?
Was it so hard to love me...
...and protect my innocence?
“Nooooo”
He tried so hard to tell you
Was it too hard to listen?
Was it too much to love me...
...and protect my innocence?
“Nooooo”
I tried so hard to say it
Was it too much to listen?
Was it so hard to love me...
...and protect my innocence?
