Ignorance is bliss

I'd like to go back to days

when ignorance was bliss

and the only goodbye,

was a good night kiss.

I'd like to go back

to pillow forts and playing.

When your parents would protect you

and you believed all they were saying.

I'd like to go back

to when funerals were boring.

To when we didn't understand,

someone might not wake up this morning.

I'd like to go back

to when everything was perfect.

To when mom was still here,

and every day was worth it.

I'd like to go back...

I just want go go back.

To when ignorance was bliss,

and life could never hurt like this.
