This distance i can hardly take
i’m not gonna blame it on you
walking away was my mistake
now i know what i gotta do
this is now or never
i’m choosing now
man, im ready for a change
i wanna regain
every bit of innocence

this is outta control
i gotta let you know
i’m getting back to innocence

she caught my eye then looked away
afraid that i would see through
that smile she tries so hard to fake
God, its like she’s running from you
tired of playing clever
she made this vow:

man, im ready for a change
i wanna regain
every bit of innocence

we’ve been weighed down for so long
let’s change the tune of our song
we’re breaking out of these chains
and setting straight what remains

man, i’m ready for a change
i wanna regain
every bit of innocence
this is outta control
i gotta let you know
im getting back to innocence

are you ready for a change
we gotta regain
every bit of innocence
this is outta control
we gotta let ‘em know
we’re getting back to innocence

take your past
say so long
start dancing
to your new song
you got a new song

‘m not afraid Not afraid not afraid
IÂ’m not afraid not afraid not afraid

Sorry itÂ’s over
I think itÂ’s the best thing for now
IÂ’m takin the memories
I don’t want to leave them all behind
Some were good, some were bad, some were in between
But I gotta do what’s right for me

And I’m not afraid
To walk away, let me go for the last time
I finally got it straight for the first time
Not afraid cause I know HeÂ’s there to meet me
So I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone, but not alone

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

I hate how it happened
But it just wasn’t supposed to be
Lets not talk about it
Cause always looking back wont change a thing
Leave the good, leave the bad, and the in between
IÂ’m gonna do whatÂ’s right for me

And IÂ’m not afraid
To walk away let me go for the last time
I finally got it straight for the first time
Not afraid cause I know HeÂ’s there to meet me
So I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone, but not alone

It may not be easy
Cause at its best life is still hard
But He is with me
And I am not alone

Not afraid gotta go for the last time
I got it straight for the first time
IÂ’ll be gone but not alone

To walk away let me go for the last time
Finally got it straight for the first time
Not afraid cause I know HeÂ’s there meet me
So I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone, but not alone

I’m not afraid
DonÂ’t let me go for the last time
Finally got it straight for the first time
Not afraid cause I know HeÂ’s there meet me
So I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone, but not alone

IÂ’ll be gone but not alone
IÂ’ll be gone but not alone
IÂ’ll be gone, be gone, be gone
