[Verse] The clock struck twelve full of regret The things we know we can't forget Shadows stretch where trust once lay The colors of youth fade to gray [Verse] Footsteps echo on hollow streets Chasing dreams we can't repeat A candle burned with reckless ease Now melts away into the breeze [Chorus] The end of innocence calls our name A bitter truth no one can tame The sky once full now feels so bare The end of innocence hangs in the air [Verse] A mirror cracked reflects disguise The lost spark lingers in our eyes Laughter drowned in endless noise Once fearless girls and reckless boys [Bridge] Oh the days we thought we’d rule it all Building kingdoms destined to fall Trading wonder Piece by piece For a glimpse of jaded peace [Chorus] The end of innocence calls our name A bitter truth no one can tame The sky once full now feels so bare The end of innocence hangs in the air
