Your innocence has gone
Oh, you have lost your sense of wonder
Embraced you as you shone
But tore your child-like world asunder
They led you on and on but they
Didn't mean to do you wrong
Darling
It's your greatest shade of blue
Lose it before it bleeds right through, woah
So much more than you can do
I'm counting on you
Now your mother's stately crown
Slips to show just what she's thinking
While your daddy's losing ground
Can't believe his ship is sinking
They pushed you on and on
Then asked, just where did we go wrong?
Darling
It's your greatest shade of blue
Lose it before it bleeds right through, woah
So much more than you can do
I'm counting on you, I’m counting on you
If you run now, please don't look behind
Send them flowers explaining this is the way it was meant to be
Darling
It's your greatest shade of blue
Lose it before it bleeds right through, woah
Trade it in for something new
I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you
It's your greatest shade of blue
Lose it before it bleeds right through, woah
So much more than you can do
I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you
