John Webster
No Longer Naïve
Once I thought that our love would never end
I believed that you'd always be my friend
Measured by the innocence that I once knew
I couldn't see the difference possessing you, but you turned it all around
I didn't see the warning flash when my guard was down

But it will never happen again and I know I won't be caught out in the rain
Cause there are things that I now know of that I once could not conceive
You'll never hurt me now; Cause I'm now longer naive

Building everything from wishes hopes and dreams
Till one day things are just not what they seem
While I did my best to fulfill your every whim
Love was blinding me from the trouble I was in but you taught me very well
And the lessons I have learned from you I will live to tell

But it will never happen again and I know I won't be caught out in the rain
Cause there are things that I now know of that I once could not conceive
You'll never hurt me now; Cause I'm now longer naive

Oh I trusted in you with such a foolish pride
Now I've too much anger to hold it all inside
How can an empty promise hold any water
How can this broken heart love you any longer
Oh you taught me very well
And the lessons I have learned from you I will live to tell
