Late at night I will lay here and I’ll drift away
And my dreams are not of kittens and kites
In my life I’ve seen sunsets and I’ve turned away
I can see the shadows over yesterday
You will see me standing there
With a flower in my hair
Don’t be fooled by what you see that’s not me
All the time it’s a struggle just to face the day
But as far as I know things will turn out fine
I am not your innocence
I am more like burned incense
And I sure as hell am not a paper doll
Once upon a time
I had heroes and now they’ve gone away
But they taught me to be thankful for what’s mine
You will see me standing there
With a flower in my hair
Don’t be fooled by what you see that’s not me
I am not your innocence
I am more like burned incense
And I sure as hell am not a paper doll
